Yes.
It was bad. But nowhere near as bad as everyone's putting it out to be. Sure, it wasn't the best ever, but it certainly wasn't the worst ever (*cough* *cough* 07 *cough).

I reccomend seeing it. It was pretty bad, but if you're looking for a break from the scares, I'd put this above Brian Brushwood ANY day.
