  • Hmm….let me think for just a second. OK, yeah, this movie was slightly below average. However, it had potential to be better.

  • What.A.Horrible.Movie. Continuing to watch horror movies is like staying in an abusive relationship and thinking that things will get better. Hint: It likely won’t.
