The rating on Netflix was only 2 stars, and my oldest daughter wanted me to watch it, so I was on guard right from the start.  Nothing personal, but my 16 year old daughter hasn't always suggested movies that I enjoyed.  This movie was a bundle of pleasant surprises.

If you are debating watching this movie let me tell you that the people in charge are responsible for 3 of the biggest movie remakes in the last decade.

Right from the start we have some mystery, which is quickly followed up by a detailed history lesson of the location for our film.  The movie has good effects, and doesn't take place on a dark screen where you can't see anything.  I guess I am getting old, I hate straining to see what is going on.

There are a handful of good ideas, scenes, kills and thrills that all made this movie better than the 2 star rating it received on Netflix.

Watching the movie before I check IMDB is a very important thing to me.  I do not want to risk any spoilers, nor do I want to build up any expectations about characters or plots or read any other reviewers titles etc.  I mention this because after watching the movie I went to IMDB expecting to see a fresh director; imagine my surprise.  Marcus Nispel, a name I hope is more ingrained in my mind now, is not new to IMDB.  With such movie remakes as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th under his belt Marcus did a great job with this film.

Kristen McCallion is the other writing credit on this movie.  She is known for Texas Chainsaw 3D, which I thought was a great reboot of the franchise.

I am not saying that this movie is without fault, what I am saying is it is not your run of the mill movie.  Let go of your preconceived notions, get comfy, and enjoy the show.

Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates!
