Hey all !!
So as you can see above, the poster of the movie, it is
quite attractive with Dennis Quaid's face looking so grisly !! would you not at
least give this one a rental based on the poster alone ?
Well, I've just finished watching it, and let me start by saying, that this movie is not a Horror, it is more of a Thriller, and i'm more of Thrillers fan anyways, so that is a good thing.
Unfortunately, not all Thrillers are good, and this movie, is not that good to be honest.
the Plot in short, involves a group of teens in a small town in Texas, who become interested in a widowed and mysterious local mortician " played by Quaid ", they start to nose around his house and dicover a deadly secret that might cause them their lives. Ooooooh
Does not sound original, does it ? think Fright night ! or Disturbia !
Not only is the plot not original, but the acting is nothing special from the actors supporting Quaid. Quaid himself is very good, though he does seem uncomfortable playing a mysterious evil guy. but those new comer actors did not impress at all. I know, I know..who cares about acting in this, its not like its an Oscar nominated film !! true, but other elements of the movie did not stand out too. as I mentioned earlier, nothing original about the plot, the fact is its very similar to the two movies i mentioned earlier.
the Film is rated R, yet it lacked any gory scenes or even sex scenes for that matter, it did seem like a PG 13 film to me. Not that im a big fan of Nudity or Sex scenes but come on, spice it up a little !
One of the main reasons I watched this, obviously, was Quaid, I like the guy, and i enjoy watching his films, but i'm really not sure why he agreed to star in this on a budget average thriller ?!?!
If you guys missed on a lot of Quaid's recent films, then I recommend these films : LEgion, Pandorum and Horsemen.
