a roller coaster

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2009)

I went to see this last night with my friends and they all thought it was really bad and cheesy, and to some point I agree with them. But all in all, this was a very good, very creepy horror movie. It was definitely a better use of my Saturday night than sitting at home. I was on edge the whole time, and kept jumping. The first scene of the movie is very scary, and a good set-up for the rest. Some parts of it were funny as well as scary, like the fight in Christine's car. Sam Raimi does an excellent job of getting the audience scared for Christine. There were parents behind us with a five year old girl whose eyes they kept covered, and think even 12 is too young to see. I was very surprised that it was PG-13 and not R. 8/10
