Amusement 2009
Starring: Keir O’Donnell, Katheryn Winnick, Laura Breckenridge, Jessica Lucas and Tad Hilginbrink
The movie is about 3 life long time friends who are stalked by a crazy killer that is connected to their childhood days. A mentally disturbed man comes up with extreme cruelty measures to play a game for his own amusement and is in search of his next prey.
Pay attention to the opening of the movie where they are showing pictures and newspaper clips, this will give you clues to the just of the film. When I first started watching the movie I was pretty much glued to my seat, thinking that it was going to be a really good movie. Well after about a half hour into it I became very confused, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. There are alot of flashbacks that just don’t make any sense. In fact the whole movie was kind of thrown together and it was like watching bits and pieces of other horror movies.
I thought for the most part the female actresses that played the 3 friends did an exceptable job but Keir O’Donnell who played the villian was just not creepy enough and came across very unskilled. I did like one of the scenes with the babysitter and the clown but as far as the movie on a whole, pretty much a waste of time. Was I scared……negative!!! Probably why the movie never made it to theaters and went straight to dvd. I give it a rating of a 3. Released Jan. 20th
