I went into this film worried. I normally don't pay attention to reviews but my wife kept bringing up all the bad ones she read. So I was very guarded when the movie started. I must say, I'm very disappointed in people's inability to understand anything that is not spoon fed to them. I understand that there are people who just don't like the graphic and disturbing nature of the film. That's fine. There are genres that I don't like. But, this movie was so well put together I was floored. The biggest complaint I heard from critics was it was hard to follow. A true sign of the ADD way we watch films these days. I found no problems following the plot. It was a very inventive way to rework an old theme. Zombie's way of linking the film thru unorthodox, but completely understandable, imagery was groundbreaking. Sid Haig, Sherri Moon and Bill Moseley were particularly great!! It's NOT Scream! And perhaps that's the problem. People can't accept movies that don't fit the formula, or that don't have GAP kids in it. If this movie makes less than "13 Ghosts", "Lost Souls" or some other boring Hollywood "horror" crap. I'm moving to Baghdad.
