My reflection is scarier than this thing, and I'm not even that ugly. So glad I didn't pay to see it - well, I guess I sort of did since I pay for Prime.
I have no idea how this compares to the short story it is based on, but I have to assume the story is much better. At least I hope the story didn't include kids just casually sauntering up to a man wearing a scary mask standing outside a large black van in a town where numerous kidnappings have occurred, but if it did, it's stupid to. One also has to wonder how the victim is surviving with no food or water save one plate of eggs. And then there's the part where one of the previous victims teaches our latest victim an extraordinarily stupid method of using a phone receiver as a weapon, which fortunately is not followed. If he had followed it, he'd have easily been punched out before taking a single swing. And, of course, we're also treated to someone not understanding that if you are running away from someone in a vehicle, running in a straight line down the sidewalk along the street is probably not the best route. Even toddlers who can barely walk know to do a bit of weaving when being chased. And the killers mask changes are pointless as well.
And so on and so forth. Just another disappointing 'horror' movie that is more stupid than scary with no decent humor to enjoy either.
