Worth your while

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2001)

Alongside "House on Haunted Hill", this is one of the better follow-ups in the line of 'new' teen slasher horror flicks (starting from, of course, "Scream"). What could I say? The acting is, in slasher terms, fine; especially the hero (Alex, played by Devon Sawa) gives a touching performance. Directing is good, but towards the end a bit too hectic - with a little less rushing the director might of had juiced up a bit more "horror". Then on the other side, at least it's never boring.
BTW, as the original ending has more balls (see it on DVD), the re-shot, "2nd", ending is propably the best 'recovery' I've ever seen! Compare it with, for example, the too fast-paced re-shot final of "Die Hard 3"!
