Best teen scare movie in a while

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2007)

This film is aimed right at my demographic (16 year old) so I thought it was great. I went in a group of 5 on opening night in a theater packed with teens just like me. I was skeptical due to the genre and Shia Leobouf, who i didn't like in Holes. The movie starts right away and keeps you in right to the end. This movie relies on suspense and the suspense sticks around until the awesome climax of the last 20 minutes of the movie. In a theater of jumpy teenagers, the last 20 minutes caused everyone to scream at every little shock, which were genuine, not cheesy. This movie didn't rely on gore, which is good because i'm not good with gore. Although there were a few clichés (the thunder & lightning at the climax, Why don't people call the cops BEFORE going into a persons house) the rest of the movie overcame them and it isn't surprising that this movie was a hit at the box office. I liked it so much that i got my sister to see it again with me so i could prove how good it was. 9/10
