Disturbia (2007/USA)
The demographic this hopes to appease is blatantly obvious from the start but even those raised on a diet of One Tree Hill and The OC would be left cold by the unlikely romance that dominates most of the film. The 30mins of suspense and action isn’t that bad but probably not good enough for you to sit through the rest.
Alien V Predator (2004/USA)
Any attempt at suspense and intrigue (arguably what made the original franchises so great) is forfeited in favour of pure fan-service as the plot unfolds from the point of view of all 3 groups of protagonists. What remains is every 13 year old boy’s dream of guns, explosions and special effects, make of that what you will!
The Messengers (2007/USA)
Above-average haunted house tale with distinctively Asian influences. Successfully maintains a good pace throughout with some genuinely creepy, if a little clichéd, moments. Let down by some occasionally hammy acting but otherwise quite enjoyable.
