Best Horror Comedy
PostedApril 13, 2012

I'm a big fan of horror comedies (Bubba Ho-Tep, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, etc). So when the movie started with the typical Joss Whedon type humor, I was extremely relieved as the trailer didn't accurately show the humor. If you're going into the movie expecting a serious horror film, you will be disappointed in that aspect but hopefully still love it. I found the descriptions of all the horror cliches to be fantastic. The last quarter of the movie is very innovative. I cannot wait to see it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I saw this as midnight showing. I felt it was great action/fight scenes and great cinematography, but it had horrible directing, acting, and dialog. The main protagonist is NOT an actress (literally, she's an MMA/Gladiator/whatever fighter). They distorted her voice to make it sound deeper yet in doing so they made her seem too stoic and unemotional with all of her lines being deadpanned. The other professional actors were sadly pretty bad (worst film for Ewan McGregor). Even a scene of McGregor trying to look reminiscent made him appear bored and unemotional. Michael Douglas was the exception, he did a great job but that's pretty much expected of him. Well, Antonio Banderas did appear to be a legit douche in his scenes, which I'm hoping was intentional...
I enjoyed the fight scenes a lot, but I expected more from Steven Soderbergh and the high class cast. I say see it as a matinee and just enjoy the fights while ignoring the bad dialog.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
