Review of Amusement

Amusement (2008)
7/10
Finally, A Video Movie That Works.
27 April 2009
I don't understand why all the reviewers of this movie seem to dislike it so much. Nobody hates (and hates on) as many movies as I do and I thought it was a fairly entertaining horror picture!

I decided to see this movie based on the director's previous film Freeze Frame, which I think to be a superior thriller. I began to have my doubts about Amusement when I caught site of the actress who starred in that boring piece of garbage, Hit And Run. My fears were unfounded, for I thought this was actually pretty good.

I think it did a good job of pacing the action and suspense and keeping things interesting by showing the viewer a series of seemingly random attacks by apparently various madmen and asking the less lazy among us to try to piece it together.

The movie's twists are amusing but not altogether surprising. There are plenty of illogical moments as well. Don't expect an Academy Award winner and you'll probably be entertained.
