Pathetic...

This movie was terrible! How about some scary moments? They reveal the killer in the first shot, which can work, but doesn't at all in this movie. Each death is incredibly obvious, the characters all behave like morons (you are pretty sure there is someone in the hotel suite with you, you rush for the door to find your best friend, so you leave her alone in that same room with a nasty killer.... brilliant). When a fire alarm goes off, you happily take the elevator up (even grade schoolers know the elevators all stop working during a fire alarm, you cannot take them up, they all go down to the lobby), and then you just mosey around without a care in the world as the building is evacuated around you. Yeah.

The police all behave like morons as well. Ok, you have established that there is a psycho killer in the building, so what do you do? Pull the fire alarm and allow 500 people to stream by you with no attempt to establish who is leaving. You learn the girl you are trying to protect is alone on the third floor, so you go outside and do some crowd control (awesome). Then you take the entire police force to break down doors (I guess the killer took the ONLY master key) and you send only one single cop to the most obvious location the killer will likely show up, the girl's house <sigh>.

How come not a single person in that small town recognized the killer? He was a teacher at the high school who murdered an entire family ONLY 3 YEARS AGO! You would think at least one person would have remembered, especially the girl's best friend. This movie was so bad, it boggles the imagination. There was no suspense, no blood, no scary moments, no intelligence whatsoever, it made a mockery of the original which was a classic 80's slasher flick. At least that one did have some suspense...
