Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

I don't mind remakes, but this is probably the worst one I have ever seen. Turning everything good into a complete mess, destroying every ounce of suspense, not even managing to entertain as a decent Christmas movie!

Billy is given a backstory that is disgusting, pointless and hardly entertaining. All the details are presented in such a way that it becomes a dull mess of revolting characters, and the way the story progresses is not mysterious, scary, entertaining, cool or funny.

There is nothing to be found in this film. It's as nauseating and sickening as spraying fake snow down your throat for one and a half hour.

What is with this recent need to create back-stories for psychopaths? Am I supposed to be stirred by the poor-pitiful-me exposition? I wasted 90 minutes watching this drivel and don't want to spend much more time even thinking about it, but here's the scoop:

* the killings are ridiculous and implausible (the icicle impalement and death by thrown ice skates in particular are howl-worthy and, let's see...IMPOSSIBLE)
* characters are lame and of course act in typical "bad horror film" fashion (although when one loses an eye, the natural response SURELY MUST BE to want to eat all the eyes of your victims) ??!!!??
* and are we actually supposed to believe that the killers are body bagged and taken to the morgue with no one ever noticing that THEY'RE NOT REALLY DEAD?!

Sometimes bad horror can be good -- alas, this is merely bad horror. Period.

Shame on Andrea Martin and Bob Clark for having anything to do with this pathetic mess.
