Peter Jackson's directorial trajectory has reached its apex just like Francis Ford Coppola's. Work under the radar, mysteriously get handed a franchise, then succeed beyond all expectations. Let's see what happens next.
Jokey splattercore and MST3K targets aren't my thing. Why spend time with "so bad they're good" when there are 1000s of "so good they're good" and "so funny they're funny" films out there?
Rating: 1 out of 10 (stopped watching once the old lady escapes from the cellar)
Recommended instead: Shivers by David Cronenberg. Nice review here.
