A horror film directed by someone who’s never touched the genre. It could be interesting.

Straw Dogs

Plot Summary: Moving to the small town where his fiancée grew up, a cowardly husband takes matters into his own hands to protect himself and his home from the dangerous and violence-minded roofers who threaten them.
Release Date: September 16, 2011

Rating: C
Commentary: A lot of directors, once they know the genre they perform best in, rarely step outside that comfort zone (see Michael Bay), so I was a bit surprised to find out that political-themed director Rod Lurie was directing a horror a film. And while I would love to say this trailer looks awesome since I respect much of his other work, it just looks so much like everything else out there that I can’t get excited. 		Rating: None
Commentary: I don’t review placeholders.

    Another pointless remake…the original film remains chilling, violent and visceral, so I don’t understand what this could possibly bring to the table.
