I had high expectations pf this film and it was a real let down.
The main character is no where near as entertaining as the film makers think he is and you have to wait near the end of the film to see the monsters. Except the cyclopse and the flash back. Plus, the monsters aren't even that good they're like cheap deadities !!!!
It was rubbish.
It was hit or miss for me. I really liked Robert Englund's role, and the monsters, say what you like, at least were not CGI!!!
It wasn't great, but I did enjoy it.
I thought it had a lot of potential, but most of it was squandered. It just wasn't as cool or exciting as I thought it'd be, especially since the trailer made it kind look like an action packed comedy/horror film a la Evil Dead 2.
Pretty dull. The main character didn't do anything for me and the humor didn't work. The ending at least had a little bit of fun to it, but way too little way too late.

That's my thoughts exactly.
I enjoyed it for the most part. Cool monsters I have to admit. As for charaters, pretty much on the shallow/annoying side but not that grinding bad. The sequel might be better as per the ending made it pretty clear theirs going to be one.
I been meaning to get some time to watch this for a while now. A friend of mine let me borrow it, and it has been sitting on top of my T.V. for the last few weeks, waiting for me to feel in the mood. I'm gonna have a lot of free time for the next five weeks, due to the winter break between the fall and spring semester and, hey, now that finals are out of the way, I'll finally have some time to catch up on my movie-watching. I'll probably post a review of this on Bearded Weirdo Reviews at some point.
Movie spent too much time showing Jack to me a total jerk for no reason. Having anger issues is one thing; being a complete tool was just too much.
