Original and exciting

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2000)

It's nice to see such a fresh idea for a teenage horror movie- well, anything that doesn't involve slashers is pretty original these days. I thought the director did a good job of setting up the beginning scenes. It was eerily frightening to watch, but it didn't forget to have fun. Humour was added sparingly but appropriately, and I think that's where the movie succeeded. The lead and supporting cast both did well- Devon Sawa has been picking some fine roles to play recently. There was a lack of common sense in some areas, and some inconsistencies in others, but the film didn't take itself seriously enough for warrant criticism for it. I'd give it 3.5/5, which is pretty good for films of this genre.
