I'm a horror movie fan. That being said, I also admit that the horror genre has NEVER been seen as having much "upstairs" when it comes to brainpower. This has become increasingly true over the last quarter century. We're now at the point in which i CRINGE at most horror trailers and I wax nostalgically of days gone by when one would have to use two or three braincells at the theatre.

But this? This just scours out what little respect I had left for the genre. You'd think they couldn't do worse than the 174891748913 remake ( ie The Hills Have Eyes ) or blatant ripoff. But no, here is something that anally rapes them all and sends video of it to their mothers.

The Ring meets Fear(dot)com meets Darkness Falls meets The Grudge meets Final Destination meets ... well every fucking shitebucket that Hollywhoretown has produced in over a decade. On the plus side, it seems Malcolm in the Middle now has a movie he can be even more embarressed about than he is with Agent Cody Banks 2.

Oh come on now... aren't you tired of pulp zombies and pulp vampires and pulp werewolves? Haven't we seen enough fat bald ugly clowns and psychotic women in bunny suits?

It's time for shoggoths and hounds, dagon and deep ones, etc. At least give me some semblence of something other than diseased humans. And so they will destroy the material. Boo hoo. It will ride the resurgence of interest (if you haven't noticed there are loads of new anthologies out lately in the genre) and could actually provide the same kind of lip smacking goodness that came from seeing the rather well rendered CoC rip offs in In The Mouth Of Madness when you finally see the legion of beasts coming into power.

Besides they already made the Brothers Grimm all cuddly. If they do the same for HP Lovecraft then I'm pretty sure a darker version will follow.
