This is the best (new) thriller I've seen in a long time. Granted, it wasn't a typical "horror" movie, but it wasn't supposed to be. They did a hell of a lot for not a lot of money. They used 2 actors, 1 location, maybe 5 extras and what, like, 3 cars. Oh, and a dog.
I felt guilty, not only for watching it, but liking it.
I've never been as repulsed and entertained while watching a movie.
The middle lost me a bit, but the ending more than made up for it. It reminded me a little bit of Bonnie & Clyde's ending...only with the zoom on.
Regardless, Rob Zombie has my respect. And fear. haha.
It was more gross than scary, but I really appreciated that they tied EVERY loose end. All the crazy family members were there, and explained. Even that fat lady who drinks tea was there.
Although, I would have bet my fern that the blonde was going to turn out to be the girl who shoots herself in the van of the Jessica Biel version.
This is in no way comparable to the original, but, it did have a few scary moments. I mean, if I realized that the crazy guy trying to kill me was wearing my boyfriend's face, I'd shit my pants.
I love Annie Parisse. She had some of the best lines in the entire movie. Especially when they're getting their nails done, and she says "Do you like sex, Rafi?"
Priceless.
I wanted to see this for years and I fell in love with it when I saw it. I love it a little more everytime I watch it. And now, I read that they wanted Marilyn Monroe instead of Audrey Hepburn, so Audrey worked harder on this role than any other role, and it made me love it even more.
I'm such a helpless romantic. When I was little, I thought it was funny that Rita Wilson would cry when talking about a movie (in Sleepless in Seattle). I completely understand you, Rita.
I don't think this movie was racist, because they're mocking racism, so obviously they aren't racists. But, either way, the movie is funnier than anything Will Ferrell or Steve Carell could bring out nowadays. Probably because America has become overly sensitive and would have a meltdown at the thought of racial humor.
I've never been one to get scared by a PG13 movie, but, I was a tad scared.
The movie was completely unpredictable, which made it even scarier, because you didn't fully know what was happening, so it was impossible to predict what would happen.
I idn't care for the ending. At all. But, there isn't much you can do. I liked one aspect, but not the other. Maybe the DVD will have an alternate ending.
It almost reminded me of Hitchcock. Sort of like Vacancy in a way, although I think this was better than Vacancy. I know some people weren't scared by it, but it wasn't meant to be a slasher flick, it was meant to be a suspense thriller, and there's a huge difference between the two. It scared me, and makes me never want to be home again.
