Old Hag

(2007) *½

These 5 people work the night shift in a warehouse. The preserved body of a serial killer arrives to be stored for a few days before being shipped to the university for research. One of the workers gets curious about the body and initiates another to keep the boss busy so she can take pictures of it. After that, strange things begin to happen at the warehouse and the employees are being killed off one by one.

This was moving along quite nicely, a neat little suspense thriller. Then along came the fire marshal, the most annoying bastard I've seen on film in a long time. I couldn't wait for his scene to end. They thought he was funny and quirky but he was just the kind of guy that crawls under your skin like a tick. Once he left, the ball got rolling again and I forgot all about him. But the little prick shows up again at the end. I find that a good percentage of horror movies seem to start out okay but they just don't seem to know how to end it. There's not much worse than sitting through a decent movie only to be totally disappointed at the end. The ending of this movie was like that, a total rip off. Still, I probably would have given it a little better rating if it hadn't been for that super annoying fire marshal and the fact that they didn't even give the satisfaction of letting us watch the death of the stupid bitch that started the whole thing. I just felt completely cheated on both counts.
