![]() Sounding a bit like Last Action Hero- the tale of the grieving daughter of a 1980s scream queen who finds herself trapped in her mother’s most famous film. The women are reunited and must fight off the film’s maniacal killer before the daughter can return to her life.” Production is scheduled to commence in Louisiana in April.

Nope. I blame Redbox, honestly. I received nowhere NEAR as many until Redbox became so huge. Anyway, I ordered the real one. ![]() Movie: 1:31:15 Commentary #1: 1:31:15 Commentary #2: 1:31:15 Deleted/Extended/Alternate Scenes: 43:20 Trailers: 12:45 Pre-Vis Animation: 5:15 Visual Effects Progression Reel: 2:30 |

For the most part this here was a highly enjoyable and engaging throwback to the slasher films of the past. The fact that this one really manages to nail the genre theme and feel of the camp-set slasher film of the time-period is it’s greatest plus here, effectively capturing that atmosphere to it’s fullest. The few early parts of the film before their entrance set this in motion rather well by maintaining that tone and feel so that when it turns into the slasher film angle with them involved there’s quite a lot more fun to come here. The scenes of them finding the different participants in the camp out in the forest where they witness the first killer ambush and begin interacting with the results gives this a pretty enjoyable expectation for what’s to come, and with them being inducted into the group gives this the greatest set-up here for the film’s great battles with the killer. Those are far more enjoyable action-packed moments here with the big trap set against him with the different traps set up in the main hall and how he gets past them leading to a set of battles against the killer throughout the cabin as the remaining survivors begin fighting back against the killer in the backroom as well as the upper floors as they bring their traps into full use letting the action go throughout into the last big confrontation at the house that really plays into the emotional trauma storyline that’s been building throughout here and especially in the last section. That as well is another big deal in the fact that there’s a great deal of work done here to detail that part of story and it comes off far better than expected here without it being detrimental to the pacing which really had the potential to be an issue and really adds a nice depth to this one. With all these added together to the rather nice comedy throughout here, there’s quite a lot to like here though there’s still a few flaws which does hold this back. The main issue with this one is the fact that it really holds itself back from what it really could’ve been if only it would’ve been more willing devote to the comedy potential of it’s central premise. The idea of being aware of a movie and then being forced to guide the cast through like what’s happening here could’ve provided this one with a spectacular storyline, but far too much of this one is spent on the mother/daughter relationship, which even though it’s great stuff there’s a stumbling with the slasher antics as there’s very little gore and absolutely no nudity which these usually provide. As well, there’s a rather simplistic and ludicrous manner of entering the movie-within-the-movie as the theater accident is way too contrived and comes off without any real explanation for what’s going on, leaving it with very little to like about it. Otherwise, this one really had a lot to like. |

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/ | |

^Yeah. How they enter the movie is a little too Last Action Hero for me, and the fact that the movie itself is PG-13 does the movie no favors (in terms of being an homage to slasher films). I do love Malin Åkerman and Taissa Farmiga as mother/daughter in this though. That main storyline works for me. Edited by MacReadyOrNot, Nov 10 2016, 10:08 AM.

Well, it's not the fact that it's like Last Action Hero (which I spotted quite easily in that scene) but the way the fire starts itself is way too Final Destination-y for me. Once that beer-bottle falls to the ground (and it should've broken instead of leaking rolling across the floor) one of them would've stood up and looked for it, alerting others to what's going on. And who lets people smoke in a theater nowadays anyway? Not happening anymore, and it doesn't work other than as a way to start the fire so the whole scene itself from the fire to how they enter is quite off. Otherwise, totally agree on everything else. The PG-13 homage to a generally R-rated genre feels off, but the relationship at the heart of it all does come off really well even though focusing on it doesn't give us the kind of true homage it really could've. |

I finally seen this, it's pretty good and Akerman & Farmiga had good chemistry. |
