First, Zombie's first re-make was brilliant. I loved everything about it.
Now, I'm all for taking an old movie in a new direction, but there are some things you don't mess with. What makes Michael so scary to me are 1) The Mask and 2) He's so quiet. I hated all the grunting! It made him too "normal/human" and totally UNscary. That's what really blew the movie for me.
The new boy lacked the sadistic look of the first boy.
There was WAY too much of the white horse. Alright, already!!
The end of the shack scene was STUPID.
The movie was ridiculously slow at times. I fell asleep about 3 times.
Sorry if this is too much detail but I was just THAT disappointed. This is a 'rainy day & your car's in the shop rental' movie.
I've loved Timothy Olyphant since "Scream" and Steve Zahn since "Joy Ride" so I was excited to see this movie. And even though I guessed what the main twist would be before seeing the movie, I was successfully made to doubt myself once or twice. It was a cute movie, overall, though I would like to have seen more from the third guy who will be playing Thor.
