Review
It's great to see that the high school cliques who dismissed Wes Bentley as a weirdo in American Beauty have been proved resolutely correct. For me a failing of Sam Mendes' film was always that Bentley's character remained disconcertingly creepy, even after he explained his dead animal filming antics to his only slightly less creepy girlfriend. I was with the bitchy teens on that one. After creating minor ripples at London's Frightfest festival, this Alexandre Aja (Switchblade Romance/Haute Tension) produced and co-written horror vanished with little trace at the cinema.
