Anton is a slacker, he sits idle all day watching television and smoking pot. Anton’s right has becomes possessed and goes on a murderous rampage.
I wanted to like this horror comedy. It has all the key elements I typically like in a film. A decent (though cheesy) plot, a talented cast (Seth Green, always a favorite, with his quirky, energetic, infectious comedic style; Jessica Alba, vixen extraordinaire; and Vivica A. Fox, sexy, sassy, bad ass), lots of blood, good music and high jinks. It had the feel of a Haim/Feldmen 80’s flick set in the 90’s with a supernatural twist.
This flick started out slow, but managed to pick up the pace. The main issue for me was that I couldn’t empathize with any of the characters. They felt flat and uninteresting. Given the plot, character development should have been a priority, especially for the primary character, Anton, however more emphasis seemed to be placed on the action sequences.
Even thought the movie didn’t manage to appeal to me, I fully appreciate it, so it gets 2 1/2 fru fru drinks.
