The Next Generation is underrated, and clearly the wheels of the bandwagon are rolling again here.
McConaughey and Zellwegger are just fine in the lead roles, and though the film is less violent and terrifying than the first (proving the rawness and cheap production values of the original helped to emphasise the horror) this virtual remake (in the Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2 sense) is slick and nasty enough for a second evaluation.
My conclusions for this unneccessary derision: general disdain for the movie's now A-list stars, comparison to the unsurpassable original, negative word-of-mouth.
Viewed as a standalone horror film, this is good stuff - and much less irritating than the postmodern self-referential shit like Scream that it preceded.
Now then -Halloween 3...
