So Bad It's Funny - DeuceBigalow

I even had low expectations going into this movie, but still it managed to disappoint me. I really wasn't sure if this was suppose to be a thriller/horror or a comedy, because it was quiet funny most of the time. I can't recommend this movie for horror fans, but if you want a laugh it good for that.

An Excellent Thriller That Manages To Scare You Without Any Blood And Gore - revsdd

It's really hard to see what you would want from a movie like this that wasn't already here. I thought that after a weak beginning this movie turned out to be everything I could have wanted in a movie. That beginning seemed to be for the purpose of setting the stage for what would come, so we're introduced to a baby- sitter receiving mysterious phone calls who ends up being killed in what was apparently a rather grotesque fashion. It was totally unnecessary to the rest of the movie. Fortunately, though, that beginning lasted only a few minutes. From that point on, no time is wasted on story development - we're thrown right into things as Jill begins receiving mysterious phone calls while baby-sitting, only to gradually come to the realization that the calls are coming from inside the house. It's sort of a combination of "Black Christmas" (the killer inside the house) with "Halloween" (the teenage baby sitter being stalked angle) - and it's very well done.

The setting (the huge and mysterious house - mysterious not for any frightening or supernatural reason but only because it's so big, leaving all sorts of opportunity for surprises) is perfect, the acting is pretty good, and this really is frightening without being bloody or graphic. I found there were quite a few "on the edge of your seat moments" in this. I wasn't sure why there was a need for Jill's friend Tiffany to get involved in this - that was a weak decision on the part of the writers - but it was one of the few weak decisions that was made here in what was basically a thoroughly enjoyable and truly frightening movie. Hard to understand its low rating here and the negative comments, except that perhaps we're so conditioned to expect blood and gore that they're missed when they're not there. I just have to repeat what I said in opening - for the type of movie this is, it's hard to imagine it having much more to offer than what it has. I had a lot of fun with it.

okay, i didn't know what to expect going into this movie...i read the reviews on here, so i was like yeah it's going to suck. I have never seen the original, so i honestly didn't know what to think. This movie is a good movie to keep you on the edge of your seat, that's where it kept me most the time. I do think that there are some odd parts too it that would never happen, like this babysitter never checking on the kids,anyways, watch it to see. It also could have been faster, it was pretty slow and repetative, but, other than that it's a good movie if you ignore everything and give it a shot!
