I do agree with you about Traci Lords, but McCord's acting was definitely not that good, in fact her overly dramatic and fake acting just made her character look absolutely ridiculous.She ruined in for me.

I agree, they would have absolutely deserved it!
Do guys like "the thing"?
They like it better than no thing.

I agree, actors made this movie so great

I agree SO much! They did better than a lot of Oscar winners actually!
The best performances in horrors always get snubbed though Same for Scout Taylor Compton (RZH2), Danielle Harris (RZH2), and Shawnee Smith (Saw 3)

McCord gives one of the best performances of the year in this film. Hands down.

Lords was fine. Not much range here, but she was more than serviceable. McCord on the other hand was juggling tics, facial expressions and acting with a capital A. A terrible 'look at me acting' performance, made even more cartoonish from her over the top zit make-up. This is the kind of character that needs a strong director to modulate the performance and reign it in to be effective. The film is fine to look at. It's shot in a very classy way slow, well composed moves which makes McCord's performance at even more right angles to the film. Everyone downplays their role and the look of the film is very grounded and then here's this ridiculous actress who couldn't have played her role any more broad. Oscar? Razzie.

i think the general critical consesus is that the acting was the only good thing in the movie.

Seems both of you have some sort of blindsight due to Traci Lord's background. While I wouldn't go so far as to say Oscar-worthy, I've seen far-worse from professional actors (though of course the script and director probably share fault).

Wow, wait. An armchair critic on imdb who mistakes his opinion for fact? Now that's something you don't see everyday
I would agree that the performances weren't Oscar worthy just by the content which doesn't conform to "oscar" standards, but they were damn good performances. And yeah she did porn in the 80's, so friggin what? It means absolutely nothing, She did a phenomenal job in this playing the Mom.
The way she contradicted herself by being a total bitch one moment then being fully caring in the next is something that is a genuine motherly quality and its definitely something we don't see everyday. She came off as a real mother in this..though a bit crazy and too religious at times.

Please be joking.

OMG, no.

Annalynne McCord was fantastic in this. And Traci Lords was great as well. Thank goodness for Online movie awards. Hopefully it can get some attention there. It's really deserving.

I agree they need to add horror movies to the oscars..and hire Traci for more movies

I thought that the lead was chewing up the scenery like there was no tomorrow. Nothing subtle about that performance. One thing I can appreciate about her is that she makes very strong strong choices in how she approaches scenes, which can't be said for all actors. She just not always successful with those choices.
Traci Lords is a competent actress though and she's good in the role.
