Yeah, I knew you didn't like the mons...Hooray! Yeah, I knew you didn't like the monster's lack of shapeshifting acumen, but I didn't grok that it would be so in-your-face to the point of being a tad silly about it.<br /><br />I liked the notion of the final set-piece, and I'd have loved it if it had had any chance at all of working. The underplanning involved was staggering, if amusing, but why anybody thought electrocution would do the job in the first place... I mean, it's invisible, doesn't eat, sleep, or stop. It is not a biologically or even thermodynamically plausible object. Think about this, Paul!<br /><br />Oh, and it's not really germane to the film's quality--you can do the same "hey, but then" with just about every supernatural horror movie--but I find myself picking over the It's disregard of witnesses. It's cool since it denies Jay any safe harbor, but whether the It is scientifically explicable or not, this thing is going to get well-known real soon, the first time someone levitates in the air and gets spontaneously broken in twain at their kid's piano recital.Hunter Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925220178171355473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633480297352890314.post-10467709216143800112015-04-06T16:52:15.070-11:002015-04-06T16:52:15.070-11:00(spoilers) I have VERY similar complaints about th...(spoilers) I have VERY similar complaints about the It's choices of form. What exactly about the beachside garage building compelled it to look like her creepy ginger neighbor? Why does it look like a zombie half the time? Who knows. Certainly not <br /><br />And that final setpiece IS hilariously idiotic, although I did love the scene itself when the monster turns the tables. It's just so Scooby Doo, I was half expecting It to pull off its mask to reveal a curmudgeonly pool janitor who wanted to keep teenyboppers away from his beloved charge. <br /><br />And I couldn't help but wonder if that 24/7 B-movie network might have knocked a couple of Mythbusters episodes onto its schedule. That would have helped considerably in the planning stage.<br /><br />Anyway, the film was a lot of fun as was this review.
