Needle - 2010

Well, if you ever feel the need to sleep through a movie... this would be one of the ones that you should do it with.

For a horror movie, this was BORING AS SHIT.

Don’t get me wrong, the kill scenes in it were somewhat decent, but between them, i was practically falling asleep.

So our story starts with a "ten years ago" introductory scene. A man picks up a ringing phone and one the other end is someone clearly pissed off at him. Some word were said and then a grinding noise happens and a GIANT hole in the mans chest appears (ITS A WILD HOLE IN THE CHEST!

>ATTACK

>FLEE

>ITEM)

ANYWAYS, a "present day" pops up and we are introduced to a group of fairly boring "teenage" characters. The story goes on fairly slowly, one of the characters, Ben I think, inherits the remaining bits of his fathers estate. Which happens to include a small, strange box from the 18th century. Thinking not much of it he takes it to a pawn broker (or something of the sort, might have been his professor, [again, this movie was boring a fucking shit so I may have looked away for a few minutes]) and finds out its worth a small fortune.

"Super Rare Artifact" they say.

Continuing, we "hang out" with the group, then we go about our merry way. The brother of the lead character happens to be a forensic photographer, and apparently a drunk or failure to the family, or something along those lines.

Anyways each member of the group of friends begins dying off in one way or another, and the killer is shown only with hands and a wax figure and the "Super Rare Artifact" that was stolen from our lead character not more than a scene ago.

BORING SHIT HAPPENS.

SOMEONE ELSE DIES HORRIFICALLY.

MORE BORING SHIT.

More people die..

It's a never ending cycle.

SPOILER - HIGHLIGHT WITH MOUSE -

So, do you remember that blonde chick from the beginning? The one in the picture at the sushi bar or wherever the fuck they were? Yeah, turns out, she was the daughter of the dude who died in the beginning. Also the one who stole the box and was killing everyone.

Oh so she chases after our lead at some point, leaving the box in the hands of the degenerate brother, who miraculously figures out how to use it, thus, making one of the blonde girl and blowing a hole in her chest big enough for a shark to swim through like a sunken boat.

After all is resolved we have a COMPLETELY unnecessary additional scene at the end, which if they had set it up for a sequel would have been appropriate, but guess what, they didn’t. EPIC FAIL.

- END OF SPOILER -

Overall, this movie made me want to go to sleep. I understand it may have been attempting to build characters up or the plot, but for fucks sake, NOT INTERESTING AT ALL. I'd expect more from the Aussies next time. Cause seriously fucking boring for being from over there.

Gore - 5/10

Overall - 3/10

Story - 2/10
