Seriously hated this film.


I really didnt know much about this going into this film aside I knew it was a remake. I have heard good things about it so I was expecting a terrifying film. I really hated this film. There is nothing I liked about it. So two young dorks go to a rather rich family's house and terrorize them. Thats basically the whole film. Who are these two. Just two random people? Why are they doing this? Why does one of them break the fourth wall? There is no answer to any of these questions. Also I think I may have found my least favorite movie scene ever. The wife finally strikes back grabs the shotgun and kills one of the villains. The other grabs a remote rewinds the film and gets the gun first. What the hell was that. You might as well just put anything in the film then. Thats the dumbest scene I have ever seen. I love a good disgusting torture filled freak show but this was just a bummer. There was really no terror here. Just a family getting brutalized for almost two hours and then killed. Its just a very boring dull bummer of a film. I have heard that this was supposed to be some kind of satire on violence but I have no idea if this film was trying to make a point or not. I really could not wait for this one to end. I just really hated this film. 1/10

The home invasion scene from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was more disturbing in less than 10 mins than this whole film was clocking in just under 2 hours

your profile pic just proved that you are the mainstream horror fans and need everything to be simple and need answers every second. you can easily find who the two people were. also you have no idea if this had a point because you paid no attention to it at all.

No I dont need it to be simple I just want it to be good.

you dont need to say it, your rating history proves it. you have given movies with a more complex narrative and more complex stories(like being john malkovich, and this movie) lower ratings and movies with simples plots higher ratings

So what?

Its a slap in the face of society and then some.

yeah you are pretty true bu i think it is horror the same why synecdoche is horror

havent seen that one, was just saying that if you go in this movie with a mind set to watch a horror you will totally miss the story the movie is trying to tell, and you will see it like the OP did and discard it as a bad movie.
Sure the events displayed are horrific, but it isnt ment to freak out people.
