It's a really strange occurrence when it happens.Adam Sherlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760368780795556308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-45350588818403892412017-04-10T21:04:51.854-04:002017-04-10T21:04:51.854-04:00I'm a big Modern Family fan, so I was pre-dest...I'm a big Modern Family fan, so I was pre-destined to at least like the final girl. The cover art looks ridiculously homemade, but I've found a lot of horror films on Netflix Instant are shown with artwork that doesn't necessarily represent the quality of the film (Dead Within is a great example of that). <br /><br />And I totally see what you mean with the "wanting more" from the movie. It's not quite doing the same thing you've seen done over and over again. The LA setting is used well, the pacing is odd in a way where you wonder if the director had some innovative ideas, and the finale makes you WANT to be excited. It doesn't succeed, but I agree that there's a kernel of something worthwhile. I just don't know what it is!

I'll give it a try... so I gave it a try. <br />Did not give a single fuck about the kids. none. I think that was largely due to bland casting and even blander writing... the writing was pretty shit.<br />I don't think it's my age vs. the age of the characters that put me off... I was put off by poorly written teens/20ishers when I was still that age as well.<br />BUT... there was just a bit of a... something... in this movie. Something it was going for... or something I WANTED it to go for. But it missed by a fair distance. The same way that mayonnaise isn't quite chocolate pudding.
