Christian groups call for movie boycott

Pish Tosh! Without getting into it with you guys....I would venture to say "slasher" films are anti-humanity! Hey...let's go watch the film adaptation of the SOB that killed his girlfriend and 3 kids yesterday!....Same diff,right? If your sensibilities let you watch, then by all means pay the $10+popcorn to view what you want. But,please, don't apply any historical weight or significance to the drivel that comes outta Hollywood! On a brighter note: I wish both of you the Best Christmas EVER with your loved ones...and stay outta the snow! TMG

Slasher films aren't my cup of tea, and this looks like a bad one (regarding quality not content), as I said...the only reason I even know about it is that Michelle Trachtenberg is in it. They are a proven money maker for studios however (think the Saw franchise...3 movies so far costing 15.2 million with a box over 385 million). My only giggle here that the strident fundamentalist Christian movement wants to boycott because it comes out Christmas day! I find their position hilarious...and hypocritical...but that's me!
