I read reviews before I decide to watch and from the "featured" review It sounded like it would be worth watching. Wrong. It turned out to be one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. All the horror cliches are here. Looking in the mirror while some one comes up behind you, spooky music to let you know things are going to get bad, Ziti's voice gets grumbly and hard breathing and his eyes seem to bug bug out. Technical issues abound. One victim to be fumbles to get a transit token to get on the subway (Tokens only - no cash accepted.) Somehow Ziti gets on the subway without a token. And lastly, the dried blood is bright red. Anyone who has ever seen dried blood knows it turns brown.

The most boring waste of time I have watched in a really ling time. A ;of shots of three 8-10 year old brothers who have no clue about what is going on in their life. The younger of the three spends an enormous amount if time just staring at the camera looking confused. Their father is abusive to his wife; their mother. About 2/3 through the movie the father digs a grave. Aha you say getting interesting. But the only thing that happens is that the younger brother jumps in covers himself with mud. His two brothers find him and pull him out. You never see or hear anything about the grave for the rest of the movie. The pace of the movie is super slow. Found myself fast forwarding several times.

I just don't get all the raves and high marks this movie got. The praise would be understandable if they were given by British schoolboys. Maybe not, but that is the level of humor and/or sophistication here. It follows four socially awkward "inbetweeners" . They are on vacation and looking to have sex with whatever girls will let them have it. At least one of them admits that he is still a virgin. The ending is so obvious that you don't need to watch more than the first 30 minutes to know exactly how it is going to end. The rest of the movie plods along with juvenile jokes and ends predictibly.
