Review of Amusement (2008) by Cat B — 13 Mar 2010
*MILD SPOILERS*.
Amusement is a film that I have been really wanting to watch ever since I saw the trailer a couple of years ago.And after having heard nothing about it since apart from a delayed cinema release I was really eager to watch it.But unfortunatley I can sadly say that the end product is far from good.
The two stories about the babysitter being stalked by the clown & the woman searching for her best friend in a creepy mansion are really eerie and suspenseful and both have brutal payoffs. But the story about the convoy is just boring and downright laughable when it comes top the end twist. And the way that they tied all the stories together in the end was fairly inventive but just too cliqued to be really worthwhile. The acting isnâ??t anything special and the gore and kills in the film arenâ??t really original either.( Probably the most memorable being a scene in which a character is killed by a carnival music-box that shoots out a dart from its earphone into his eye ).
Overall Amusement is enjoyable for the first 2/3â??s but the last section is when it really starts to fall apart and just becomes a complete and utter mess. Iâ??d wait until it shows on TV and save your money to watch something better.
