Review of Amusement (2008) by Kyle L — 11 Jul 2012

A really fascinating and dark Horror film that will keep viewers from watching it again and again and again. Amusement is one of the best Horror films I've seen today and it is really impressive. This is a pretty fascinating Horror film and the plot is about three girls who are kidnapped and taken to a dark and isolated place by someone from they're childhood as the three discovered that the person who kidnapped them is a psychopath the three girls must escape before the killer kills them all.

Like I said I love this movie and I know this movie received some negative reviews due to it's release as a direct to DVD but I never cared about it I just love this movie and I don't care about the negative reviews of Amusement I just enjoyed this movie because it has everything that most Horror films are missing now a days.

From start to finish everything about this movie is impressive and incredible. What's fascinating about Amusement is that this film has a really dark feel and the tones of this movie are so dark and scary from the opening scene until the end Amusement is full of dark themes and some suspense as well everything in this movie is incredible and I did like it so far.

Normally I think this is what Horror fans truly need and Amusement is what the fans should be impressed with and this is the film that the fans might find worth watching. What I enjoy about Amusement is that the film is really suspenceful and tense from start to finish.

The opening scene where Shelby and Rob follow a convoy truck and Shelby gets kidnapped by the other guy who was on they're back during the time when Shelby and Rob are following the Convoy truck is one of the most suspenceful scenes in the film and I think the most frightening part in that scene is when the girl in the Convoy truck jumps out of the truck through Rob and Shelby's car and I think that's the most tense scene in the film.

There are also some creepy moments in this movie which I seriously like in the movie. The scene where Tabitha is sleeping without recognizing that the life size clown is moving because she doesn't know that the life size clown is a disguise costume is one of the creepiest moments in the movie and I did like the part when Tabitha gets chased and attacked by the laughing killer disguised as a clown because that's the most intense part of the film so far.

What I also like about Amusement is that this film has a lot of incredible and stunning locations. The isolated place where the killer lives is one of the most impressive locations I've seen in a Horror movie for a long long time from the outside to the inside the view of the place is incredible and the settings are so unique in this movie and this is the first Horror film that I've watched with a lot of wonderful and Gorgeous settings and it really feels like a Horror movie with those kinds of settings so far.

What I also like about this movie is that the music is incredible in this film the soundtrack by Marco Beltrami is really good and like I said I like the songs of Marco Beltrami in every Horror film he composed from The Omen remake to The Woman In Black the music of Marco Beltrami is great and fascinating which is good for this movie so far and it makes the movie look good.

While the film has only a few kills that aren't super gory and violent I did like the idea that instead of focusing on gory kills it focus more on tension, scares and suspense which is good for this movie so far.

Now the acting is great all of the casts did a good job with they're work in the film the beautiful Laura Breckenridge did a good job with her role in the film as Shelby and her performance in this movie is great and I think this is her best performance since her performance in Hit and Run and she's so beautiful in this movie.

I also like the actor who plays the killer and the actor who played the killer is great for this movie and his laugh seriously impressed me so far and I hope that actor does a good job again hen there's another Horror film that's good for his role.

Director John Simpson and Writer Jake Wade Wall did a good job with they're work on this movie. I like how Job Simpson directed this movie although he could have used some atmosphere for this movie to make it look better but it's ok so far so next time I hope John Simpson directs another Horror movie this time with a really atmospheric atmosphere so I hope he makes another good Horror movie this time with an atmosphere I'm willing to see that for Director John Simpson.

Overall this movie gets a 10/10 because this movie has all of the stuff that other Horror films are missing now a days.
