Preview: Amusement (2008)

• Poster: D+

Review:

Place-holding is a terrible pastime and here, the common design for the title of Amusement in most advertising for the film finds its way to a solo gig on the poster. It wasn't really the right choice, but for this film is there a right choice?

• Trailer: C-

Review:

This Saw-styled film's tagline (and subsequent explanation of the title) is that the stalker plays on his victims fears and hopes not for their amusement, but his own. Perhaps the tagline should be: "For the studio pocketbook's amusement, not the audience's".

Oscar Prospects:

As if I needed to say more than nothing.

Release Date:

• Holiday 2008
