I saw it last night....

From the makers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, I was honestly expecting more. I dunno, it's not that it was awful or anything. I just found it extremely dull and had a severe lack of suspense.

I was never a huge fan of the original movie, however one thing that it had going for it was that many things were left to your own imagination. This movie tried to actually show more to the audience but it never came across creepy or scary.

One thing I really wish studios would STOP doing is casting "sculpted studs" and "foxy mammas" as main characters in movies. Not that I am against looking at beautiful women, but sometimes it CAN be distracting because it's just not REAL. Keep that crap on the soap operas. The couple who buys the house in this movie is gorgeous to the point of annoying. At least Margot Kidder looked like the girl next door. The woman who plays her role in the remake looks like she should be posing in Victoria's Secret (and don't EVEN get me started on the babysitter). The man who plays her husband is a chisled hardbody (and believe me, he get's PLENTY of wet, shirtless screen time) who looks like he should either be a light-heavy weight boxer or a soap star.

Definitely agree with this point. The was never a point where I felt even slightly convinced that either of them belonged in their struggling, blue-collar situation. And, yes, the babysitter just helped to push things completely over the top.

Still, I'd be lying if I said Ryan Renolds' numerous shirtless romps weren't much-welcomed highlights in this and Blade Trinity.

While you guys are all talking about it...I'd just like to mention that my name is Ryan Reynolds. No kidding. :lol

Anyway, I saw the movie Friday night with a few friends...Kind of funny, how big of an asshole Ryan Reynolds' character is in the movie.

I have no interest in seeing the film, but any fans of Alias see it and get really distracted by Melissa George? I get enraged just seeing her in the previews.

i think Van wilder carried the movie and turned what could have been an awful POS film and made it average to enjoyable. But then again Van wilder being an asshole always cracks me up.
