Re-Cut

RE-CUT (Mongrel, 2010) D: Fritz Manger, w/ Meredith Phillips, Ross Kohn. Rating: N DVD package: none. Rating: N


There’s nothing like a good horror movie, and that’s Re-Cut – nothing like a good horror movie.

It’s the old cliché: stupid city slickers versus scary yokels. Here, a TV reporter and her whiny amateur camera crew investigate a homicidal religious nutter. When they creep onto the rundown farm crime scene with a couple of faux-friendly good old boys (which takes a plodding hour to get to), we know exactly – plot twists included – where this is going.

Using the new cliché, the Blair Witch/Cloverfield shakycam, to take allegedly found footage is a good way to make a movie on the cheap, but it’s no substitute for actual scares.

Be glad there are no extras. They would only be depressing.

EXTRAS Widescreen. English audio. No subtitles.
