SPOILER ALERT:
Most of the reviews for this on FB and in the DV group have been really good. With people raving how awesome it was and the acting was phenomenal. I just have to ask, are we watching the same movie? I was disappointed to say the least.
When I first heard of this movie in production a few years ago, I was excited. My husband and I are huge fans of the13th franchise so we were extremely anxious for this movie to arrive. Boy were we in for a disappointment. The acting was absolutely terrible, except for Dee Wallace...she may have been the only thing that saved this from a complete disaster of a movie. The storyline had potential, but the way it was executed was horrific. Whoever was in charge of editing did not understand the assignment because the way they put it all together made the movie confusing and really hard to watch. We are lucky to have made it through the entire thing because there were many times I wanted to turn it off but kept pushing through. Kane's death scene was definitely one of the hardest scenes to watch and not because it was so moving and he was so good at acting as everyone has been saying...no...it was hard to watch because it was terrible acting and just way over the top...like cmon dude die already, way too drawn out. Don't even get me started on the confusing as hell ending. All in all, I give this two stars and that's only because of Dee Wallace who played her part phenomenally and almost saved the movie if only the storyline had been better executed.
