Horror fans: how much torture can you endure?


Horror fans: how much torture can you endure? We don’t mean the nauseatingly nasty maiming that graces this tale of a burglar (Josh Stewart) who breaks into a house booby-trapped by a maniacal mastermind. No, we’re talking about the pain of putting up with diminishing returns and recycled serial-killer chic – rancid lighting and set design, stock industrial-rock soundtrack – just to see a few Rube Goldbergian contraptions with razor blades. This is the sort of cheap bilking that separates completists from masochists; the brief suffering on screen is nothing compared with the agony that scary-movie buffs will feel after being so thoroughly cheated.
