A horror film? Come on, give me a break!
I feel that you are guilty of giving the wrong impression to people
who may want to see the movie. I found nothing horrible in the story.
Rather, I found it to be the most sophisticated comedy around nowadays.
Did you call it a horror film because you needed an angle for the review?
(mini flame: I hate serious, deep movie reviews.... no offense to you
personally sir).
In any event I would rate the movie +4 on our Official Olympic Movie
Rating Scale, and urge people to go see it. But not as a horror film,
as a comedy.

ps: Perhaps this should have been in net.flame.....
