11-11-11

I’m shocked at how much I didn’t like it. I believed in Bousman, the trailers were good; after a long time, I could look forward to a great atmospheric demonic horror film, and on a Spanish setting on top of that, something I like a lot. But what I saw in the end made my jaw drop to the floor. I like Saw II, III, IV, Repo and Mother's Day, so I don’t know what Darren has done to surprise us with this dud. This film doesn’t work at all, like really, in any way. The actors are bad, the script is bad, the direction is bad, the music is awful, the scares made me laugh several times. It really pains me to say that 11-11-11 is the biggest horror epic fail of the year. If there’s anywhere where the phrase wrong on so many levels fits perfectly, that’s here. Mother’s Day and all the other Bousman’s films are Oscar contenders next to this one. One star for the last fifteen minutes, where you can screen capture a couple of atmospheric images. And I wanted to praise it so much! :-( (11/05/2011)
