An average movie

I have noticed that this movie had reached quite a cult status so I was quite eager to check it out. On top of that, before directing this movie, David Slade had directed the very interesting and above all very intense 'Hard candy', so, I was really curious to watch his next effort. To be honest, I can’t say I was really blown away by the whole thing. I mean, sure, I was able to see why it was quite popular as it was very well made and pretty entertaining but, in my opinion, there was nothing really original about the damned thing. Concerning Josh Hartnett who was once set to become the next Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, this movie would be his last commercial success and, for the last 8 years, he has been busy making some very obscure flicks with some rather dubious artistic merit. To conclude, even though I tend to think that it is slightly overrated, I have to admit that it was a still a decent flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

And guess what was David Slade’s next movie ? The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.... Talking about a buzz killer after 2 very promising features.
