Like you said, it was everything a bad horror movie experience should be, and while it didn't seem to belong in the realm of intentional self-parody, it definitely indulged and over-indulged its target audiences with their obvious desires-- desire to get scared, desire to get smooched, desire to see that bitch get her head kicked in at the end, etc., and had no pretentions of attempting anything more serious, which is refreshing.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749045333523431710noreply@blogger.com
