Just when they're about to lose you...

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2000)

I went to see this movie with two friends of mine and was not sure what to expect. I got the feeling during the whole movie that, just when I thought, "This could get cheesy really quick at this point," I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't. This could have been a really bad movie with very little effort, but, instead, it turned out to be a good, solid piece of work that kept me interested in what happened to the characters the whole time. Granted, there were a couple of characters that I hoped wouldn't die but did, but there were also a couple of characters I ended up hoping would get horribly eviscerated and, thankfully, they were. I'm confused as to how this movie gets called "scary" by some. Full of nasty, dangerous situations at practically every moment in the movie, yes, but scary? Anyway, it's definitely a movie worth seeing.
