The way a comment should be written

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2003)

This movie has all of the classic horror movie feel with none of the barriers previously placed upon movies of the horror genre. While it can be called predictable by those who watch entirely too many movies, the plot is well deserving of applause. John Cusack once again plays his role stunningly, and has helped this movie into my own High Fidelity-esque top five list of horror movies. Also headlining this movie are more actors that you may have seen in other movies and t.v. shows. Ray Liotta once again plays a great cop role. Amanda Peet plays a strong co-star female role similar to the caliber role of her character in Igby Goes Down, minus the drug problem. Teen movie heroine, Clea DuVall, has a heavy emotional role, and carries it better than even the writer could have predicted. Especially after seeing her in The Faculty. Someone you may not recognize is Rebecca De Mornay, who has finally had her first decent role since Lana in Risky business. Scrubs star, John C. McGinley plays the role of a mild-mannered stepfather; something far from what the famous sitcom's addicts may not have expected him to act as. The character Lou is played by William Lee Scott, who you may know from movies like Pearl Harbor, Gattaca, Gone in 60 Seconds, and October Sky. With so many skilled actors headlining, plus a great plotline that accepts the fact that, although everything under the sun has already been done, it still has an ace up the sleeve enough to keep you interested, keep you jumping, keep you guessing, and keep your light on when you go to sleep.
