Review of Amusement

Amusement (2008)

We are not amused!!!

Warning: Spoilers
This wasn't a very good movie, despite having some okay actors and some above par production values.

The premise is that these three girls got their playmate into trouble for torturing a squirrel to death when he was a kid, and now that he's grown up, he arranges to have them all killed in very creepy ways. Most of the scenarios defy plausibility. (The killer just HAPPENS to be following his victim, whose boyfriend just HAPPENS to be following a truck with a psycho truck driver and a truck stop hooker?)

Amazingly, none of these people think to do the sensible thing, which is to call the police when they think something is amiss.

It's low grade torture porn, and if you're into that kind of thing, you can watch this movie. But it telegraphs its suspense a mile away.
