Plot: an escaped maniac murders some sorority sisters during Christmas time
This is considered blasphemy by many a horror fan, but me and DJ actually like this remake much more than the original. There’s a better story, a greater level of fear, a faster pace, awesome kills, a great cast (whom DJ especially loves), nice effects and good direction. The killer being so brightly yellow is a little campy, but we can deal with that.
The only thing we couldn’t deal with was the unrealistic nature of those hospital doors. No hospital room doors close like that. Hell, they don’t usually keep them closed at all. And why is it that the guy who’s been cheating on his girlfriend still ends up being the most rational character in the movie?
We highly recommend this movie and believe it should be watched on DVD rather than Netflix or cable. Mostly because of the alternate scenes. The international version of “Melissa’s” death is awesome and they show a lot more. Also, there are 4 different endings that you should judge for yourself. the 1st alternate is my favorite and the 2nd alternate is DJ’s.
I really like this movie and give it a 75/100. DJ loved it, wants to own it, gives it an 87.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
