Based on a true unsolved murder in 1981 in which The Strangers movie was also based off of. I didn't know that.
The accents were horrendous and the characters were..well stupid. I wanted the mother dead within the first 20 mins or so. We have super killers that are stabbed and hit with a baseball bat and move as if unscathed. *sigh* The music score horrible. That's it. |
That's a great clown mask though...

The story had a good idea, but bad direction. I would've liked to have seen this with an adult writing the story for an adult audience, instead of by tweens for tweens.
So far in recent years, we've had a Dracula reboot, Mummy reboot, and Frankenstein reboot. But out of all of them, The Wolfman is still the best.
...I actually haven't even seen the Mummy yet but I'm keeping my opinion as just cold hard fact.

Oversexualized? that's kind of weird for a PG-13 Frankenstein film, you know, if it isn't Frankenstein Creates Woman or something... "By tweens for tweens"... ack! that sounds revolting... I'm interested in seeing various takes on the Frankenstein story, but I don't want to see a tween film. I didn't want to see a tween film when I was a tween, that is revolting.
