A must see for all fans of modern horror/thriller!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2000)

This film is one of the best, most original modern horror films I've seen in a long time. Those of you who say the plot's non existent, lighten up! The originality and brilliant acting of the film make up for any plotholes. I agree with almost everyone else that this movie is not in the same league as Scream, however there are definitely more shocks throughout- whereas in most horror movies there's just one killer chasing a victim, in this film you're continually preparing yourself for the next shock, because you've no idea where and when it will come- or, in some cases, the shocks are completely unexpected (the bus scene???). The film contains everything to make for excellent, terrifying Friday night viewing- suspense (some of the death scenes are incredibly drawn out!), shocks, blood and a little humour! Go see it in a packed cinema to get the full effect- the whole audience will be gasping and screaming. This is one of those films that you just have to see again because there was so much you missed due to hiding behind the seat in front. Also, after leaving the cinema, I guarantee you will look twice before crossing the road.
Overall, great direction, great story, great acting, great movie- the last thing I saw Devon Sawa in was Casper, and he's gone a long way since then! Kerr Smith is brilliant, portraying a completely different role to that of Jack in Dawson's Creek- hopefully we'll see much more of him in the future. The ending seems a bit like it was made up on the spot, but apart from that this film is a definite must see. 10 out of 10.
