| BOTCHED is a great idea for a slasher take-off that's been given an uttelry mediocre treatment. It's not awful, but it seldom rises above the so-so. Didn't anyone, for instance, clue the actor who plays the prancing, theatrical villain into how dreadful he is: neither funny, nor scary, nor camp -- just silly and dumb. This is something the director ought to have had a bit of control over. Stephen Dorff gives a nicely measured performance, but he is surrounded by generally less-than-stellar work. If this won the first prize at the NYC Horror Film Fest, what must the competition have looked like? |
