Instant Classic

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2019)

I seen this movie when it came out. I was 16 at the time and in that time I had a different outlook on movies. And as my taste in films matured time by time, I still manage to love this movie as much as I did when I seen it the first time in theaters. They're so many great things about the movie I kinda struggle to find one single issue to not make it a 5 star movie. The acting is phenomenal. The characters are lovely. It has that old fashioned feeling that horror should have. It is funny and intense and it switches tones without it feeling awkward. The humor of the film isn't like quippy or anything like that, it's more like the awkward situation that the main character Chris occurs and how he handles it. And I love that. But besides all of that, the best thing in the film to me was the pacing. Nothing never felt forced, and scenes never dragged. It has a very tight script and because of that I never got bored. And that right there is why this movie is an instant classic to me.
