Campy fun? Slasher movie?

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2003)

What a disappointment! So much talent in the service of so little. The film is never really scary or involving, although there are some cheap, manipulated thrills to be had. Many have praised the end, which I won't reveal here, but it felt more contrived than shocking--we even have the cliche of the "false" ending again (just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water . . .). Thanks goodness John Cusack was in it; no wait, I'm sorry John Cusack was in it.
