This one was so predictable, I'd have been embarrassed to produce it, but then the cynicism of the modern producer knows no bounds. Just wait ten minutes or ten years and re-release the same schlock with some new faces and a few new lines and that's all you need to rope the next batch of suckers.
Still, with a solid performance by the lead, and good support, this ride works just fine. If you hadn't seen its ilk 1000 times before, it might even impress you. I like my horror served up this way. Good ole E. A. Poe wrote essays on how true horror always devolves to the individual. Mass slaughters simply don't entertain the way a single individual being ripped apart does. Big numbers dilute misery. That ends this lecture.
The above is a sort of disclaimer. I really liked this movie. For all its obviousness, it's a good solid movie that creates an empathy with its pathetic hero. I liked seeing what's his name from the first Deuce Bigelow as well. This movie is full of perky little moments.
