said...We did see it. We didn't see it on X-Mas, though, because it wasn't playing anywhere near us (and we're in downtown L.A.!), we didn't feel like going out of our way since Brad had worked, so we schlepped around the apartment in our PJs and played games instead.
We saw it on Tuesday. And I have to say it wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. Definitely not a contender for the It's So Bad It's Good Category either. It was mediocre. I tried to find the ways in which it defied the traditional slasher flick genre, or subverted traditional cultural norms... but I really couldn't. It just seemed like a throwback slasher flick where girls are stupid and scream and get their fingers lopped off in one smoother motion.
I would absolutely love to read that review that suggets that it goes beyond the standards of the genre, though. Because honestly, I looked and couldn't find it.
said...And what do you know, as soon as I posted my last comment, the site loaded. You can find the review here.
said...I can't give you a direct link because the site's down at the moment, but the review is at http://www.intergalacticmedicineshow.com/
I believe there's only one movie review column in the sidebar, and it should be part of the site's free content.
But now that you're looking forward to it, I'm worried that I read too much into it and he wasn't actually so clear about it subverting genre and things like that. But you can see for yourself...if the site comes back.
