... made someone pick up this script and say, "hey, this sounds cool, let's do it!", without realising that there's not a single original thought anywhere to be found here? We have the hot-chicks-with-no-brains, the token black guy who is also a comic relief, the hot girl with brains teaming up with the nerd, and then your typical, deformed villain who is either a ghost or something else supernatural/sick and jumps out of the dark at choice moments. I could tick off the clichés as they came atumbling; knowing exactly what would happen at every twist and turn. There were only two ways the movie could have ended... and yes, there it is, predictable as well.
I understand that a lot of people find this a nice nod to the old-school slasher movies but I can't see how this would make it any better. A crappy homage to cool movies still makes for a bad flick. If the monster running through the woods, hacking down cliché characters is supposed to be classic then there are movies released every year to fit that bill... I fail to see how this is anything special. It is NOT clever, the jokes are cheap and the story all too obvious. The monster fails to frighten, the girls shake their boobs at the camera a few times too many and the death scenes are fairly ridiculous but not in the 'fun' way.
I usually LOVE to watch horror-made-comedy but in this case, the movie falls short in all respects. Next to Eragon, the worst movie I've seen this year.
