Girls in uniforms are awkwardly “Scared”

a quickr pickr post

Following the bloody patterns of its Hollywood pathfinders, the genre of “Slasher movies”, such as “Friday the 13th”or “Scream”, “Scared” has provided very creative and gory ways to torture the victims, all of them freshmen in college. If you’re a fan of gore, “Scared” would definitely quench your thirst for blood. But if you are looking for a good plot, well, you’re going to be way disappointed. How I wish the director deleted the last five minutes so that “Scared” would be a very stylish Thai slasher movie.

The director tried to provide a twist, hoping it would lead the film to its climax. However, it was a lame attempt because the twist was so unpersuasive that it seemed awkward and even hilarious. Not every story needs a twist. Well, let’s put it this way: not every film is of the “Saw” series. Please stop bombarding the audience with the same old last-five-minute TWIST. Can’t we just have a STRAIGHT story?

However, “Scared” still has its moments, such as some hot chicks in uniforms, some way too vivid torturing scenes, a soft touch of the mysterious Thai voodoo spells, and so on. Did I mention hot chicks in uniforms? Though there is no nudity in the film, it is still fun watching those school girls, one by one, getting taken care of. Well, I guess it is this sort of bad taste/fetish that makes audience (like me) buy the tickets…
