The only redeeming factor to this movie is Michelle Forbes who I immediately recognized that played Ensign Ro on Star Trek TNG. The other actors. One who is now an Academy Award winner. Were awful. Juliette and Brad were so over the top about their ignorant hillbilly characters that I could not take anything about them seriously. But I have to admit that Brad has always played Brad and this was so far from Brad that he was actually acting. The only other movie that I can say that about Brad Pitt is his best role that he has ever done which was in the movie 12 Monkeys.

Don't waste your time on this movie. There is a reason that you never heard of it or seen it.

Last year I watched The Haunting of Hill House. Which was an adaptation of the original story by Shirley Jackson. The adaptation story was so much better. I'm talking about the story. I'm not comparing it to the terrible CGI in this movie.

Yesterday I watched the original Scream at the AMC theatre on the silver screen for the 25th anniversary. The movie didn't seem dated at all. And I have always thought that Scream is a parody of horror slasher movies (which it is), but it is a slasher movie by itself while it is making fun of those horror movies by directors such as Wes Carpenter. And probably John Craven as well. If they ever remake Scream Tori Spelling will probably be cast as Sidney. The movie is a classic slasher film even though it makes fun of the genre.
