Best Horror/Thriller in a long time!

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2007)

I'm not really a fan of horrors/thrillers, although there have been a few which caught my eye, and I believe this is one of the better movies I've seen of the genre. However, the mystery aspect is what i do enjoy. There are many positive aspects but I shall only mention a few. The acting was great, everyone seemed real to me, and actors like these should be recognized more. I enjoyed David Morse's presence in other movies as a dark and menacing character, which was experienced during this movie. The teenagers of the movie acted in a modern sense, which I applaud because most movies are five or more years behind modern culture, losing the effect with the audience. The storyline was great, for a moment you thought Mr. Turner would burn but wouldn't which kept you questioning how it would end. The ending was very tense, especially when my friend scared the s!@# out of me, it was humorous when everyone around me is saying "what the hell is wrong with him!". There were no inconsistencies in the story and I enjoyed how there were happy times throughout a good portion with the film, it didn't leave me thinking the world is full of serial killers or full of deformed creatures hiding out in the hills. In my belief it was real, besides the fact that not everyone is a neighbor to a serial killer, but some people are and makes you think ...
Love the film, acting was great and the tension it puts on the mind was enjoyable (but not at the time).
More movies of this genre should make sure they follow a similar style ... but please don't copy the whole plot like other films do, which shall remain unnamed for civil law purposes.
