  Granted, I don’t know what kind of precursors this movie had, but the style and shots of this movie smack of modern action films, even superhero movies. 
  There is a whole lot I enjoyed about this movie, like its vibe of a slasher film, and the villain, and the hero feeling like a villain himself but to the bad guys of the movie. But sadly I think it comes down to be something that feels like it toys with the idea of an amazing film, but decides not to be. 
  Four one-thousand/five one-thousand stars

  Was one of my favorites when I was younger, and really gets you in touch with your inner horse girl.
