11/19: The first thirty minutes of Deadly Friend had me saying, "Hey, the Master of Suck got something good going here," before the shit hit the fan.

Wes, Wes, Wes....never kill the goose that lays the golden egg, you fucking idiot. That's what he did with BB, which is a ripped-off concept from Short Circuit, by allowing batshit crazy Anne Ramsey (now, you know why there's Throw Momma from the Train) to shoot it to death and then proceeding to have the 16-year-old Kristy Swanson's character killed by her fucked-up child molester for a father. Once they were gone, so went the film...down in the drain for the next hour.

I thought Paul wanted to bring Sam back so he can have his own sex toy. Other than that, I fail to see a good reason. Her mind is just blank, and she understands nothing or can't communicate. So, how is Paul labeled as a "genius"? Wes Craven won't know what that word means because he is so fucking stupid. Paul's mother is an idiot, too. If he's so worried about Sam going around to do weird things, why not unplug her brain?

Oh, yeah...that Anne Ramsey's head being blown up by a basketball? Who the fuck cares? It was stolen from Scanners which adds nothing here. By the way, how can Sam have the strength of the Terminator when she only has a chip implanted in her brain which shouldn't produce any physical change?

All in all, Wes Craven is a stupid, hack horror director.
