I was brought into it without any back story of what I was going to see.[/quote] Me too. I maintain the best way to see the movie is going in blind. Not even a trailer. [quote]At the beginning, I assumed it was going to be a comedic-horror (due to the sudden title in the first scene that, I will admit, made me crack up.), but as the movie went on, I guess I just found myself more disgusted. [/quote] It [i]is[/i] a comedic-horror, though I would call it more of a comedy about horror. Glad you enjoyed the title card, that was the first laugh-out-loud moment for me as well. A shame that you didn't find the creepy old gas station attendant on speakerphone, or the merman, or the white board, or everything Fran Kranz said funny as well. I laughed at all those things. [quote]As for the labyrinth of monsters, the immediate one that comes to mind is 13 Ghosts, which is fully about creatures contained in glass containers that shift around to be released as symbols are landed upon. Though I hold to my opinion that all themes have been taken from other movies, I guess there is an appreciation to be said about it from the idea that its a look in on the creation process of these types. Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't research before the fact, and thought they were being serious. [/quote] Interesting, I haven't seen 13 ghosts, although I would say nothing here is an accident. This movie has been meticulously planned so that its details have details. Again, yes the [i]elements[/i] of the film have been pulled from other films (because it's directly referencing and dealing with both the content and presentation of those films), but those elements have been combined into something I've never seen before. [quote]That doesn't mean I like it. :P I am more a fan of psychological thrillers, not slashers.[/quote] So am I. Give me Memento, Jacob's Ladder, The Sixth Sense, etc. any day over Halloween or Friday the 13th. [quote] Do you plan on seeing Brave at all this summer?[/quote] I'd like to. I'm a big Pixar fan (who isn't) and I've seen all their movies except Cars 2.
