If MSTT was made by a first-time director I might be a little more forgiving, but seeing how it was written, produced and directed by horror legend Wes Craven who's been in the business since 1971, I can't help but be disappointed at how amateurish the whole thing felt. I didn't hate the film, but that's not saying much or even an accurate statement because there isn't much happening in MYTT to hate. It's literally too bland to even make a critical judgement about. There isn't one single original idea in the entire movie; the story is ancient; we never even get a clear shot at the killer (he appears to be a large, scruffier version of Rob Zombie); the characters are all bland stereotypes we've already seen a million times before (lonely nerd, abusive jock, power-hungry preppy; prude prayer chick, etc.), really boring photography. And with almost zero violence, gore, blood or nudity I don't even know what Wes was thinking the audience would be entertained by!
Not face-punchingly bad, just boring, formulaic and extremely bland. Skip it with a vengeance...or watch it to make fun of. All of that said, I own this motherfucker.
