The kills were a lot of fun and there's one hilarious screne (Crowley gets lit on fire, only to be doused by a flash rainstorm moments later)but aside from that there's not too much to go on.<br /><br />Why is it when directors brag about bringing back "old school" horror they only ape the worst aspects of those movies?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998494372417859151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-23895947241734720022009-12-29T00:17:20.936-05:002009-12-29T00:17:20.936-05:00What an overhyped piece of garbage!

Adam Green aspired to be just like the shitty '80s slasher flicks he loves so much, and guess what--he succeeded in making a movie just as lame and pointless as the worst of them.
