It was thrilling to watch 4 the first 10 minutes. But it went downhill for the next 1 hour 10 minutes.
Yes it was nice from 'fantasy' point of view. Yet it failed viewers frm reality stance. I was left baffled with how this movie effectively made the entire enforcement bodies such as police and detectives looked like a complete fool, or useless.
Those murders were poorly premeditated and should have left trails all over the place with DNAs, CCTV evidence, chatroom conversations etc!!! How he got away with it was beyond my comprehension. How this movie won awards, certainly beyond my imagination.
Not 2 mention the way that rope dancer running away frm the train station to the car park while she should have called the police with her mobile phone have made this movie looked far more idiotic. This movie should have its title changed to 'Scary Movie 6'

Elijah Wood and Nora Arnezeder star in this 2012 horror remake of the 1980 film. Wood (The Faculty) plays Frank, a mentally disturbed, young man who is fixated on youthful beauty. He starts murdering women and removes their scalps to place on mannequins. Soon, he meets photographer, Anna (Arnezeder) and starts to fall for her. Eventually, Anna learns that Frank is not whom he appears to be. This is a pretty good remake, Wood is great in it, I like some of the POV shots and there's some gruesome make-up effects. I recommend this.

I am not writing a review because unlike the others (not pointing fingers and i apologize if i offend) i don't want to spoil anything and don't want to say anything majorly about the story I see that people rate it for something it isn't and i feel like that is a problem. I just feel like people should know at least what I gathered from this film. I have not watched the original but what i have understood is that people seemed irritated that some "proffesional" reviewers wrote it off as a women hating, violent movie and nothing more.Now i have read some of the reviews for this and a lot of people say the same thing. Just a violent nasty and judges/rates it on that. IT Isn't. In fact this is one of the saddest movies i have seen. I think its wrong to say that it isn't violent. It has violence that makes you want to turn away. But its not about that. It doesn't rely on violence. The main character is a troubled man that tries to live his life, dealing with his issues. He doesn't have anyone and doesn't know how to deal with them alone.Its a 1st person drama/thriller with a sad but beautiful techno music to blend in with the neon lighted feel of this movie. The acting of Elijah wood is brilliant in that he mostly needs to act with his voice and not his face. The story is sad and i cant help but feel sad for the main character much like The Voices staring Ryan Reynolds. The movie focuses so much on there psychological problems that it just comes of as tragic and sad. This isn't a horror movie with no story and disposable characters. This is a character built, character driven sad movie that is beautiful both visual and story wise.

First of all my rate to this film is 9 out of 10 and i will explain why i rated this movie, higher.Accordin to people's review they're all saying one thing is missing,theme is bad,bad plot etc...For me this film is just masterpiece.Because its atmosphere , its soundtrack and acting are just freaked me out and editors really showed the bittersweet life of maniac and made us feel the world of psycho!!! I would say this film really showed us the act of a psychopath,their feeling ,their aspect of life and how they perceive society and how they see the world and i would say that this film helped me to see the world from their eyes and it's not just a thriller crime movie its a piece of scene how some hidden society see the world.And about Elijah Wood, he's the right person to take this role.I really wanna let know to other people who's not satisfied or not liked this film is that they don't feel deeply of its hidden beauty, of a psychopath mind like a beautiful mind.
