An average movie

It has been a while since I have seen this flick and, to be honest, I wonder how I actually ended up watching this flick. Anyway, I have noticed that , ever since it has been released, it has managed to reach quite a reputation and many would tell you that it is a great serial-killer thriller. Well, personally, even though I have to admit that it is indeed a solid entry in the genre, I don't think it is really so amazing after all. I mean, sure, it is original and rather well made, I'll give you that, but pretty much like any other thriller, the premise was just seriously far-fetched and, therefore, I had a rather hard time to really care about the whole thing. Obviously, there was a big twist at the end, but since there is always a twist in this kind of movies so it kind of lost some of its impact. On top of that, and that's probably what bothered me the most, is that they took a genuine mental condition but instead of having a realistic approach, they went completely over-the-top creating some kind of circus freak show. To conclude, even though I wasn't completely blown away, I have to admit that it was still a decent watch though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
