i love horror. i love "B" horror. i know the difference between a "B" horror and a BAD horror film, and this was bad.
here's the thing, horror films usually have a BEST run life span of 3 flicks and they may not even be in a row. for example: halloween, halloween II and H2O is the best trilogy set for michael meyers; NMOES, NMOES 3, and wes craven's new nightmare is the best trilogy for freddy kreuger. i must say that i still never got into the jason flix - the 1st was an awesome nod to 60 phycho-dramas with lot's more blood but, the 2 or 3 that i caught after that were just plain mindless. i try to watch them, i really do. but i find watching ray millan in the attic more stimulating...
i think that the idea of the story was fun and plausible in "horror reality". i think that giving more background on both was cool. but, i think that the (sorry) execution of the film was poorly done. ronny yu is great and he directed bride w/ white hair - i have and enjoy that film a lot! but he was the wrong pick for american horror. we needed wes and victor to get together and flush this minimal script into a WWF kind of stand off. have kevin williamson get a stab at it. of coures, no one and every one wins this bout cuz, if one or the other DID come out on top, there would be no end to the whining...
