I was totally on board, until the supernatural stuff started happening. I saw it not too long after making this post about 6 Souls, and it didn't do much to change my opinion of horror movies as really dumb episodes of House. I thought the house they were in was pretty cool, though! Reminded me of a Resident Evil game, the way all the sets fit together in a geographically comprehensible way, and they had to keep backtracking through them to get the key to the elevator or whatever happened in that movie, it's been a while. I also remember thinking the son was pretty good for a young actor, then I IMDb'd him and it turned out he was in his thirties and just really short. Here's an actual entry from his trivia section:
IMDb wrote:
Trade Mark
Often plays characters who find themselves in life threatening situations
No shit. I can't remember which specific twist infuriated you, but I do remember getting frustrated that they only had like three characters and kept killing them off pointlessly. I think you need at least a half-dozen teenagers to make that work, and Donald Pleasance has to survive because he's the one we actually care about.
If you're looking for better movies with plenty of Cox in them, try The Escapist (2008), a prison break film where he plays the lead for once. Don't let the IMDb page tell you which famous short story it was inspired by if you don't want to get spoiled. I also enjoyed Ironclad (2011), it was dumb as shit and about as historically accurate as a LEGO set, but also bloody good fun. Paul Giamatti looked like he was having the time of his life stomping around the mud as Prince John. |
