Query: Pointless Formulaic Snoozefest - Craven needs a blood transfusion

Glossy as any Hollywood cookiecutter thriller, this marks a low point in Wes Craven's career. Wes Craven has disowned his earliest, most twisted works, and his career since Nightmare on Elm Street has been a quest to break out of his horror film cubbyhole. The Scream series was a respectable compromise; he could churn up plenty of rent money by reinventing the slasher film, while demonstrating that he was above it all by cleverly sending up the genre.This movie is not clever, or imaginative, or much of anything other than a waste of time. The plot points are contrived, the director cheats with lazy jumps in the action which undercut any real suspense, and there is nothing we haven't seen done before, and better. Except maybe one scene, and that's not worth the price of admission.Hope ole Wes pocketed some major change for this one. Hitchcock it ain't.
