Good movie

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2008)

Horror is usually not my subject. But I enjoyed watching this particular film. The story takes place in Illinois, although it conspicuously looks like southern California. The acting was very decent and believable. It was very creepy. But best of all it manages to keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. There is a lot of suspense.
On the downside, the plot is a bit thin. And I wished the protagonist, Laurie, was a little smarter, particularly towards the end. I know she wanted to protect the kids but fleeing directly to her house, when she could have just run somewhere else and have Michael follow her? Also once in the house, Laurie pokes him in the eye and then gets up to find the kids. Why not make sure he is dead first? And when she had the chance, she should have taken the knife away. But overall a decent film even with these issues.
7.5 of 10
