Most suspenseful movie in God knows how long (spoilers!!!)

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2000)

I have never walked out of a movie as traumatized as when i walked out of the theatre after this (i was scared going to the toilet for christsakes!!) Lets just say i will not be flying for a long time! I have also never been compelled to throw up in a death scene before Todd's bizarro self strangulation shaving accident. I have rarely jumped as hard as i did when Terry took her impromptu bus trip. The visceral nature of the death scenes and the terror lying within the most mundane household objects (clotheslines, toilets, computers, coffee mugs etc)caused this movie to leave me with a distinct sense of dread and fear that i haven't felt for a long time (and hope i dont get for a long time again.) What seperates this from the Screams and I know what.... of late (dont get me wrong - i love them) is that the killer in this isnt some movie freak with a butcher knife (or garage door opener) but the light switch i use to turn the light on, or the pillow i sleep on, or the computer i am typing this review on right now! This is up there for scary sequences alongside Drew in scream, or the opening and closing scenes of When a Stranger Calls (another highly underrated horror gem) Go see this is you want to remember what it is like to be scared.
