Eric Balfour
Reviews Featuring Eric Balfour
Mild, easy-going and comfortably-directed family stuff thats just fun enough to hold the attention but its also lacking a little in spark and originality.
Going head to head with one of the greatest horror films of all time is bound to end in bad blood, but while this reimagined 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is no real match for the original, it has just enough mad mayhem and hysterical helter-skelter to satisfy most horror-fiends - and a film about a terrifying family of mad Texans wielding ruthlessly lethal power from a big white house has never seemed more pointedly political.
This alien invasion mini-epic is let down by unlikeable characters, boring action and a setting that just doesn't grip you. After letting myself get taken in by the hype I've been left a broken shell of a man. How can I believe in anything anymore?
