Unique and creative - one of the best

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2009)

It took me a long time to sit down and watch this movie, or any of its sequels, because of its reputation of gore. But one day, I braved it and sat down, and I can't imagine not having seen this movie. It gave me an appreciation for horror movies. What an absolutely fantastic movie - the story is gripping and thrilling with, in my honest opinion, the best ending to a movie in movie history. It has some amazingly tense scenes and isn't just a gore fest which is what I love about it. James Wan and Leigh Whannell weren't looking to create mindless blood shed, but created a plot with twists and turns that had you guessing right up until the end. This movie is quirky and brilliantly directed, edited, written and acted. I 100% loved it and because of this movie it has inspired me to watch more horror movies and, having researched behind the scenes stuff, has taught me a lot about film making. This is horror/slasher at its best and it was definitely worth the hype. Horror fan or not, I think people need to see this movie, it's a real gem in the industry of film.
