Review

I've read reviews off and on that dog this movie. I wonder sometimes if the people that dislike this movie so much dislike the horror genre. If I were to rate a musical I would probably give it a low score myself.

This movie is not perfect but because the horror in it is done well enough it is worthwhile to suspend some disbelief to go along with the ride. This isn't a PG13 teen scare. People tote the term "tortureporn" I think because the killing is done is such an unapologetic organized fashion. Every kill is planned and gruesome. In the horror genre what actually is wrong with that

While Rob Zombie and others are destroying monsters (Zombie basically killed the icon of Michael Myers) by humanizing them too much it is refreshing to have a new killer killing for killingsake. Isn't that worth a ride (assuming you are into horror)
