Amusement (2008)
2/10
this film is nearly as bad as the writers remakes
21 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A mildly bullied kid grows up and decides to get even with the trio of girls (yes girls) who bullied him by scaring them before brutally killing them in the uninspired, clichéd-ridden horror film. Visually it looks better than the budget the film had, but that's about the best thing i can say. The rest is trite and asinine. The victims act so VERY stupid in their actions that one can't help but actually root for their deaths. I was kind of looking forward to this one, needless to say I was disappointed. Well in all honesty, with the same writer that wrote this the equally awful "Hitcher" & "When a Stranger Calls" remakes, I should ave had diminished expectations from the onset.

My Grade: D

DVD Extras: Both widescreen & fullscreen versions of the film (I'd opt for the 'neither' option) an anti-piracy PSA; corporate schilling for Blu-Ray; trailers for "Alien Raiders", "Friday the 13th"; and trailers for the X-box 360 games "Tomb Raider: Underworld" & "Project Origin"
