9/10
More Than Meets the Eye
30 January 2013
Ostensibly, this is a slasher-cum-revenge movie about a persecuted protagonist getting even with his tormentors; watching it, it soon becomes clear that the compellingly goofy title is, to a certain degree, misleading. Whilst the title indeed describes events in the film, it (no doubt deliberately) fails to acknowledge a considerably more substantial story of second chances, paternal bonding, and the lengths a person will go to in the name of friendship. A generally sympathetic cast of characters, amusing verbal exchanges, and some hilarious scenes of murder combine with the aforementioned elements to form an endearing and engaging viewing experience. Hopefully this will emerge from relative obscurity to assume the mantle of cult classic.
