There is an old wives' tale that you should hold your breath when passing by a cemetery lest an evil spirit rejected by both heaven and hell gets inside of you when you inhale. Someone in a carload of college kids on holiday doesn't hold his/her breath when driving by a graveyard, allowing the spirit of a recently executed serial killer to get inside him/her to begin a spree of body-jumping carnage.


Wow, they literally took everything that I hate about horror movies (stupid teens on a weekend far from everything, there's a curse and an old man who knows everything about it, as if we weren't spoon-fed enough of the 'plot') and crammed it into this.
ReplyDeleteCabin in the Woods and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, which I recommend, were great because they had a plot with enough hindsight on the situation. This doesn't seem to be the case here.
30 Rock's Karina Bowden doesn't seem to want to get out of the "horror movie dumb blonde" stereotype. Apparently she was in The Shortcut and Piranha 3DD, she was in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (again, this one is a great film, and it has Alan Tudyk), she will be in this film and Nurse 3D… Well, at least she's not making cheesy rom-coms.
