Info Post


Hurt is not the greatest horror movie in the world, though it does have it's good moments. It also has a pretty evil kid doing some evil things, and for a pretty good reason. At least we get a decent reason this time, instead of having to accept a cute little kid acting evil "just because."

After Daddy dies, Mommy and her two kids are forced to move in with Tom Cruise's Cousin, way out in the desert. There's a foster girl named Sarah living with Uncle Cruise, and it turns out that she's an evil little trollop who wants everyone but her to die.

Do not turn your back on her!

Why can't evil little kids ever just talk to an adult and sort their problems out, you know? Sarah seems cute and sweet, and all she really wants is to belong, but how can you ever belong if you kill everyone you might end up belonging with?

They always stare!

Even creepier than creepy little Sarah, is the fact that not only do we have to endure one of the kids from Twilight in this movie, but that he runs around shirtless for pretty much no other reason than to draw in the 12 year-olds that like Twilight. Come on Jackson Rathbone, you were so good in Dread, enough with the pandering already!

"Um... get dressed or I'll stake you."


The Master Says- Hurt itself isn't a bad effort, it just suffers from a bit of slowness and a lot of the time it feels like TV movie of the week fodder. It does give us a good creepy kid though, and for that alone we can kind of endorse it. It does shine a negative light on foster kids, but then again if their own parents didn't want them... I'm kidding. Really, that's an awful thing to say... but at least as far as movies go, it tends to be true.

Maybe smile once in a while, and people might want you.
