Usually, I feel that the reviews of Pluggedinonline.com are rather overbearing and perhaps a little ultra-conservative. Often times their reviewers will mention "negative elements" of a certain film and I won't even notice the scene when I do eventually watch the movie. Yeah, they're that picky about their reviews. I suppose that this attitude is understandable considering the general feelings of the audience that they are catering to (other ultra conservative, super picky, "Christian" parents).
So most of the time, I am rather frusterated when they give movies, such as The Matrix, Fight Club, V for Vendetta and other such R rated films with very healthy themes, a bad rap. But then there is every now and then a film that absolutely deserves every stereotypical Christian insult a film reviewer can give a movie. What do you think I am talking about............ of COURSE!!!! You guessed it; slasher flicks.
Specifically, I am talking about the new film The Strangers. I just read the review from pluggedinonline and I could not agree more.
WARNING: IF YOU REALLY DESIRE TO SEE THIS SICK AND TWISTED FILM, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW...
The film begins with a guy proposing to a girl, she says no. They go to house out in the middle of nowhere. (I do not know all the plot particulars, so I have no idea why they would spend a romantic weekend together after this guy had just be burned so badly.)
Anyway, the girl starts seeing things. The guy thinks that she is going crazy. Then three people in masks burn his car and ax in the front door and chase the couple around the house, until they finally catch them, tie them up and torture them to death. Heck, yeah...... that's a movie I want to watch. *rolls eyes*
The film also claims to be based on true events. I doubt that they are, but even if it's true... why should that matter? Why do you have to make a film about it and torture a theater audience as well. But then, if you buy a ticket, you signed up for it.
So go ahead, desensitize yourself. It should be fun!!!! (that was biting sarcasm, just so you know.......)

Ew, yeah . . . not a movie I want to see. I saw previews for it on the television, bleh. Sick & twisted, and absolutely does not appear amusing at all.
