Fear Friday - A Perfect Getaway
Tagline - Let The Games Begin
6 Strangers. 2 Killers. No Getting Away
Everyone Needs A Place To Escape
Directed by David Twohy (Pitch Black and Below) and released on August 7, 2009 by Universal Studios (Rated R). Newlyweds Cliff and Cydney (Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich) arrive in Hawaii for their honeymoon. Along the way to a secluded beach they meet Cleo and Kale (Marley Shelton and Chris Hemsworth) and Nick and Gina (Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez). Could one of these strangers be responsible for the murders back on the main island?
I really like this movie. More of a thriller than a horror film. The fear is set more in the paranoia of what or who might be around you. If you don't know how it ends then I think you'll find it's done well.
The scenery is beautiful. The acting can be a bit on the campy side but that makes for some fun and laughs. There are plenty of cute boys. Steve Zahn a long time favorite of mine, Timothy Olyphant is channeling a young Bill Paxton here and Chris Hemsworth looks quite good as a creepazoid.
I always enjoy watching this one. What do you think of it?
Take a look at the original trailer...
