Are You Scared?

Okay, I'm a huge movie fan, HUGE. I have been made fun of by friends and my brothers for some of the movies I've liked. Where is this going? My point....I like a VERY wide variety of movie and it takes a really, really bad piece-of-crap movie before I will dislike it. This movie was TOTAL CRAP! Not only was this a very VERY weak attempt to rip-off a first-class movie (the "Saw" series) but they didn't even try to be original. Even down the bad guy's voice and use of voice modifier, it was such a total crappy rip-off of Saw. I'm not even going to waste any more time listing all the bad things about this movie because I've already wasted the time watching it (I admit, I couldn't make it past the first 37 minutes!).

My advice to you? Go into your local video store, put on a blindfold, wander around, and stick your hand out and grab anything within reach....and I promise you it will be better than this film.

It's like Saw, minus the budget,and the acting, and the special effects... If you told a group of junior high students to make a recreation of Saw, this is what you would get... I almost shut it off 30 minutes in, but I decided to stick with it in case it got better....it didn't.... The worst torture isn't in the movie......it's watching it....

Garbage. That's all I can say about this piece of crap. I was rooting for the killer. The main characters were so irritating and stupid, I wish they would have died earlier. Didn't the killer think about the fact that these "teens" would tear out those low hanging cameras? How about the dumb loud mouth girls standing in the middle of the room in the only light available making enough noise to raise the dead. Stupid! Most annoying people I have ever seen in front of a camera (I will not call these people actors, they couldn't act their way out of a paper bag). Never mind that the movie is a blatant rip off of another movie. Even if it wasn't, I'd still call it a piece of crap. When are they going to stop making these "teenagers in peril" trash? I'd almost rather see remakes. There was nothing entertaining, sexy, or interesting about the film. What a waste. I'm never renting Lion's Gate garbage again. After Mr. Jingles, I should have known better anyway. Save your money and watch "Saw" again. There's nothing but stupidity here. The only good thing about the movie is...hopefully all the casting agents will see the crappy actors in this dung heap and refuse to ever put them in front of another camera. I hated this movie! No doubt about it! I hope some of the technicians involved used a fake name. They deserve better than have their name on this piece of trash.

Are You Scared is a cheap imitation of Saw. A madman kidnaps a bunch of teens who apply for a reality TV contest. Turns out the show is way too real for everyone as they all start dying in contests where there is no way to win and there is an audience of one. Everything moves pretty fast, which is nice when the effects and dialog are well below average. Lighting was terrible, camera work was fine, screen play was OK. Directing was marginal, and editing was good. Some twists at the end made it a little more interesting. One thing I noticed is that I didn't feel sorry for the characters when they died because they were all pretty annoying. Even the police and FBI characters didn't generate any real sympathy.

I give this movie a 10 out of 10 best comedy of the year! This movie is funny, a laughable tale of trial and triumph against all odds. A tale of a movie that wants to be saw, yet fails horribly, with some intense character development such as that one guy did that one thing, and that other person died. The characters in this film are unforgettable, just thinking of the chemistry between that blond guy and that other person brings a tear to my eye right now. Also, the plot twists are unforgettable, such as that one person died, I never would have called that! All around, this a wonderful movie that deserves the academy award for the best picture ever in the history of all things. Go and watch this riveting movie, better than Citizen Kane.
