It gives a great look into what MJ was like in rehearsal and how he worked with his team. His performances were brilliant, and he didn't look tired or weary or any indications that he was about to die. I felt a bittersweet melancholy watching this. The guy was a legend of my time, and this tour would have been a great triumph. MJ clearly still had a lot left in him.
A very thrilling movie different from your ordinary horror film. Not a lot of slashing but some truly interesting character development. A lot more than most horror films. The acting is very good and realistic. I would strongly recommend this if you like suspense or horror films.
WARNING: Some opinions and possible SPOILERS If you haven't seen it and are planning on, you might not want to read on:
This is also the only film where the audience cheers when a little girl gets punched in the face.
The husband is just too naive, not seeing what is going no long after too much has gone on. I kept wanting to say "wake up stupid." And that psychaitrist deserved to be punched in the face too. .
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The plot has some really cool twists. The lines and situations are hilarious. I recommend if possible to go to a place like Studio Movie grill or Alamo Draft House where you can have a couple of drinks, because this is not a movie meant for the sober. Also, be sure to leave to kids at home. My one complaint: too much male nudity and not enough female.
If you grew up watching the Friday the 13th and Halloween movies or just like horror films, this wont dissappoint. It was well made and the effects are better than 20 years ago.
One thing that was missing in this film was the occasional surprise from the lack of what was expected. In other words, the horror movies of the 80s sometimes showed a little restrain here or there. So when you expect the killer around the corner, sometimes he's not there. There was none of that in this movie. Every time someone goes towards a dark shadow, Jason was there.
All in all, it was enjoyable. It is NOT for little kids. And I'll probably see it again or get the dvd.
