Very enjoyable spooker

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2011)

I went into this movie with very little information except for what was shown on the trailer. I expected a cheesy PG rated "horror" movie that lacked anything new. Boy, was I wrong. This movie worked on every level for me. Good story, good acting, and some very good scares. I liked the initial Saw movies and Dead Silence, so I should have had more faith in James Wan and Leigh Whannel. One other aspect of the film that worked was that they didn't use humor just so viewers could take a break from story's focus. They did have some humor, but it was minimal and didn't last long. You can tell that not only do they make good horror, but they are fans as well. Only a fan could bring home the scares the way that they do. Nice job.
