Review of Amusement (2008) by Josh B — 21 Mar 2009
To begin: a terrible disappointment. I have been watching for this movie since it was first announced. It took forever for this movie to finally be available to view. And it was NOT worth the wait. What could have been a very scary, original horror movie turned out to be predictable and confusing.
Perhaps my biggest problem with this movie was the totally bizarre and random structure and setup. "Let's just spend the first 2/3 of the movie introducing the 3 leads. Then the last 30 minutes we will make it scary.
" No, it did not work. Tabitha's introduction was actually pretty good. It took one of my favorite scary stories and made it very creepy and suspenseful. Other than that, the other two character's introductions were predictable and boring.
Then the rest of the movie became bland, senseless, and...well, weird. Not what I expected.
