scary horror flick

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2020)

This movie is basic, and takes it's time to build up, but satisfies with some really good scares and very suspenseful scenes. the acting wasn't very good, and the boyfriend was pretty idiotic, but the movie did it's job. lots of memorable moments. i still remembered some from watching it 13 years ago (i'm pretty sure i'd only watched it once when it came out) (about 2 viewings, 2/21/2020)

(SPOILERS)

the first time i watched it, i hated it. i thought it was boring and was probably annoyed that they show you very little. i'm assuming that's why there are so many 1 star reviews. but as i've evolved into a horror movie fan, i realize that showing you is not always necessary. when she left the room at the very end and started screaming, wow that was creepy. the last two scares, in the last shot both made me jump. made me decide to go with a great 7 instead of a solid 6
