I'm a legit horror movie fan, sir. And I understand the horror genre conventions, even the clichés. Doesn't mean I agree with them. {nm}

Of all the places you can run to, you hide in a coffin?! {nm} Antibody Sep 13, 10:24

Short list of those who regularly check out as to what is in a coffin. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Sep 13, 10:32

Looks positively awesome so of course non-horror fans are critical of it. {nm} MrSmitherz Sep 13, 10:35

I enjoy a good horror film but that's got to be the stupidest move in the horror movie history of dumb moments. {nm} Antibody Sep 13, 10:38

If you really liked horror movies you'd know that the genre is predicated on characters acting irrationally. {nm} MrSmitherz Sep 13, 10:40

I disagree. Horror builds from tension. Tension isn't deflated when a character acts smart, avoids its prey. If they're stupid, tension = 0. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Sep 13, 10:45

Have you seen a slasher movie? There are rules, as Scream so successfully lampooned. {nm} MrSmitherz Sep 13, 10:46

Yes, the victim should die for making such a dumb move, but she's the heroine here. {nm} Antibody Sep 13, 11:00

How do you know she doesn't die anyway? Jordana Brewster was the heroine in TCM: The Beginning and she died. {nm} MrSmitherz Sep 13, 11:03

Looks like a shot-for-shot remake of 2003's remake. I feel as though that might be detrimental to getting fans into seats. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Sep 13, 10:42

There isn't a morbidly obese lady muttering, "Oh my my." The budget was like $7M so profit is guaranteed. {nm} MrSmitherz Sep 13, 10:45

Isn't Twisted Pictures the producer? Where is their logo? {nm} MrSmitherz Sep 13, 11:04
