I just got back from seeing Wes Craven's new movie, "They." Here's a tip boys and girls, don't waste your money on this flic. If you want horror, you should instead go see the Ring.

Beware, spoilers ahead.

The movie was rather asinine and dim-witted, with the main characters living in a world of perpetual darkness where boogey monsters were jumping out to get them, always from behind or underneath of course. The scenes were largely predictable, and even with the help of the soundtrack it failed to scare. And last it has the over-used hopeless ending where the boogey monsters win and the main character's attempts to live were fruitless. The movie at least would have been suprising (and maybe even a little entertaining) had the main protagonist busted out a flamethrower and wasted some boogeyman butt, or perhaps had the final scene in a machine shop and a desperate fight involving a pneumatic nailgun. But alas, it isn't so.

Fortunately my friend paid for it, so my only regret is wasting 1hr 45min of my saturday night.
