Christopher WaldeckDid I lose my mind when I was reviewing Sorority Row.

This is very bizarre to me. I gave the film a review of a B - because I respected the film for it's decent if lightly muddled plot line and the cast. Yet I see that metacritic has given it a really low review. They reviewed it even lower than The Collector and that movie no offense was really bad, but after reading the negative reviews and realizing that their have only been six reviews for it, I must admit that the critics are seeming quite muddled in their reviews as well. Currently it has 26/100 which is generally negative obviously in terms of reviews.
The critics said that the film had almost no story line and bad dialogue. well i'll admit the dialogue is off, but it's meant to be that way. It's not supposed to be taken seriously, and the dialogue actually makes it seem more hilarious for it's funny scenes before the gore scenes arrive. The film obviously had a story line, it just added several unnecessary plot lines which muddled it up.
Sites like Bloody Disgusting and Fangoria who actually understand horror films well at least some horror films, gave Sorority Row higher reviews than whiteout although it received a higher rating on metacritic, along with the Final destination which royally sucked yet some how the critics liked it and didn't pay any attention to the story because there really wasn't one. Yet they criticize sorority Row for having a mixed up story line. I guess they predicted Sorority Row would make less so they kissed the ass of the Final Destination for the Hollywood machine.
Maybe if all critics let actual horror genre critics review the horror movies than they'd see how stupid they are at reviewing horror films, or at least learn to review with an open mind.
Leaver me your comments, and thoughts.
