Talk:Ronald McDonald House/@comment-4715955-20141014115743

Concept is John Carpenter good; execution is Uwe Boll ridiculous, which is a goddamned shame. The setup in the beginning had me interested in the kid, and I wanted to see what misfortunes would befall him, and how the wholesome image of Ronald McDonald would be perverted; then like crashing into a brick wall I'm hit with nonstop "SUPER SCARY AAAAH" in the form of silly or gruesome setpieces, all executed with very little horror finesse, going for shock rather than scares, and expecting me to find Ronald McDonald's image scary just because. You couldn't have made Ronald's image a LITTLE inviting and safe before twisting it into something terrible? Couldn't actually RUN with the "it looks ridiculous" impression at first, and then slowly turn it into a symbol of terror and unwholesomeness? Like another commenter or two said, most of the horror stuff has no bearing on the story beyond "ISN'T THIS SCARY?" The answer to anyone with entertainment standards is sadly "No."
