Accidental Surprise

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2001)

I stumbled upon this movie recently when nothing else was on. Being an Ali Larter fan, I decided to try it out. It was amazing!! With such a young cast, I was worried about it becoming another teen slasher film, which it most certainly was not. What I liked best was the pace - not a second was wasted, from the film's first ten minutes until the shocking conclusion (just when you thought you were safe...)

In fact, I appreciated the fact that - just when you thought you had been cheated - the ending comes about and turns your expectations upside down. Thrilling cutaway shots throughout lead to suspense by hanging clues in front of us. And just when you think you've got it figured out, something else entirely happens... or does it? Great, GREAT movie. 8/10
