I know what you did last, uhm sorry, this summer

I never go into watching a horror movie like this one with high expectations or "critic eye", all i expect from a movie like this is entertainment and fun, and if it can also deliver several good chills then it's even better. So i did the same thing again and i went to see 'Hit and Run', it even started off quite decently, by that point i was excited to see the rest of it, but soon (approximately at that sequence where boyfriend kicks in to help his girlfriend) it started getting' worse and worse, i just couldn't quite understand why did they decide to ruin a potentially entertaining American slasher horror. And they ruined it with bad acting (by everyone, i seriously can't find somebody that could stick out as a black sheep who acted better than the rest in that bad cast), silly scenes that absolutely made no sense, there's a difference between original and unique in a crazy way, and a total mess that probably wasn't even supposed to be like that but in the end it turned out that way. To conclude, if you are fan of slasher horrors, this won't be your gig, in my opinion it isn't even real slasher, and if it is it had pretty damn boring introduction to it, if you're fan of new American horrors that have little plot and a lot of entertainment, fun, some chills, big body count and sick killing blows (e.g. 'My Bloody Valentine', 'Friday the 13th') then this definitely isn't movie for you also.
