Review of Hack! (2007) by Shawn-Ray M — 11 Oct 2009

I get that they were trying to make a self-referencing horror film but I think they kind of failed on just about every single aspect. There was a lot here to bring someone into the movie: Danica McKellar, William Forsythe, Juliet Landau, Lochlyn Munro, and so on and so forth, but the severe over-(lack of)-acting and sequences of events that just didn't make sense makes this movie almost unbearable.

After the first 10 minutes I simply sat through it just to see how bad it could get. There would have been a way to make this movie and had it be entertaining, but I feel Matt Flynn's direction hindered that.

His vision was just uninspired... which is funny since that's the point the movie is trying to make: that horror films today lack imagination. Still, I give them points for trying to do something different in a genre that's all but stale at this point.
