Since "scary" movies have started getting away with accepting a PG-13 rating, most of them have gone to crap. That's not to say that gore is my thing and some PG-13 movies actually succeed at fitting the genre.
I gave this movie a very generous 1 (almost a 1.2) because the ending get's more imaginative, yet still incredibly predictable and the whole cast of characters gullible and oblivious to anything that resembles intelligence.
Somewhere around 1988, Wes Craven lost his originality and became formulaic. The SCREAM series began the bubble gum pop culture horror flicks that just weren't based on much more than some new teen faces who you didn't mind seeing get whacked. This movie just seems to reek of the last creative thing he did do. A Nightmare on Elm St. College Campus vs. High school. The evil you can't see is comin' to getcha. I think Wes' finer current moments will be defined in the slew of remakes other people do of his older works like THE HILLS HAVE EYES. He use to be one of the defining writer/directors in the genre, but took a dump on that in the 90's. Even Sam Raimi knew when to move onto other things.
These remakes of Asian horror flicks never capture me. That may just be a me thing. The enemy is always grey and bends in ways that would make a chiropractor jealous. Just not scary. The sad thing is that this is the redeeming element of this flick.
Bottom line = This is the kind of movie that will only encourage illegal movie downloading and still make you want your money back for the CD you burned it to.
