I am proud to say i didnt spend ANYONES money to see avp. It was on on demand for free as part of a free hbo weekend.
I will say that i was personally offended by the existance of this piece of shit. It borrowed teeny little pieces from the comic book, but all of the shallow surface shit. Paul anderson needs to stay the hell away from horror, he is a crappy action director, and a shitty horror director. Granted, I like the original RE, but it has little replay value, and i couldnt be bothered with the second one.
He doesnt make horror movies, he makes "horror themed" action movies.
That i can think of there have only been 2 worthy horror action movies, Aliens and Dog Soldiers. My hook into horror was seeing Alien when i was 5; needless to say i have a deep personal vested interest in the franchise. Predator was also an early favorite, wlthough it was a sci fi action, not horror.
and i maintain:
WHY pg-13 out of 2 long running r-rated series?!?!
I hate Paul anderson. He should get into a car accident with Uwe Boll and never wake up.
