I may have locked horns with the Crankster on more than one occasion, but I have to say that I generally agree with him on this one. I was told that this was supposed to be one of the scariest movies of all time, but my personal opinion is that this is one of the WORST of all time.
I found the film to be very inane from start to finish. The teenagers are so brainlessly stupid that I'm honestly insulted, being a teenager myself. Anyone with eyes or a brain would probably agree with me that every time a situation comes up where the sensible course of action is so damn obvious that there is practically a hoarde of neon signs cluttered about the woods. Once most of the main characters are killed, the only people who actually speak in real sentences are unmistakingly Hannibal Lecter's redneck frat buds; does this really seem like enlightening entertainment? Does this even seem like entertainment PERIOD?
I wasn't scared once by this piece of shit, and I really find this eating-the-dead thing sick. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I've lost a dear friend at a very young age, but I have never seen anything amusing about screwing around with corpses in any way. In fact, I've always found any kind of extraneous gore to be tasteless, and nothing more.
If you ask me, anyone who finds this vile and lobotomized trash scary and entertaining reminds me a lot of those guys in the beginning of "Scream 2" - you know, the die-hard slasher fans who dressed up like the killer and gestured with the knife when someone died in "Stab" - people who seem to get turned on by watching people get butchered for no reason other than because they are part of some psycho's flowchart. I've heard of some strange fetishes, but this one really tops them all.
Where's that mushroom cloud when I need it?
