This film looks like a big steaming pile of dog turd. It was directed by that hack Renny Harling who is responsible for such "classics" as
A
Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Cliffhanger (alright I'll cut this one a break, it's pretty good for an
action and the opening scene is one of the most terrifying and memorable in film history),
Cutthroat Island and
The Long Kiss Goodnight
to name but a few. Wow! I'm getting the feeling this film is going to be
really scary.
This film was originally taken on by legendary Paul Schrader, who's writing and Directing credits include:
Taxi Driver, Blue Collar, Raging Bull,
Cat People, The Last Temptation of Christ e.t.c. again to name but a few.
He wanted to really go for the mood of the first film, trying to go for mood instead of build up. However, when he was nearly done the studio was
disturbed with the fact that there were no cheap a$$ jump scares ala
Scream e.t.c. and so sacked him and brought in The Hack to make it more
teen friendly.
Woohoo! What could have been a complex and interestingly scary film has been turned into a s#@t-fest we've seen a thousand times before. Well I
know I can't wait...
