Totally predictable and a step backwards

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2006)

When I first sat down to watch this movie I was told that, even though I had become so jaded with horror movies, I would never guess who the killer was or see the end coming. That was something that I had learned to enjoy because of a classic like SE7EN andTHE USUAL SUSPECTSand thought that MAYBE a horror master like Wes Craven could pull it off (and save his own career in the process)...but when I saw "Sidney's" (Neve Campbell) boyfriend (Skeet Ulrich) come through the window looking like he'd just gone through Hell, that was the dead giveaway to me as to who the killer was. I will admit that it took me a little hwile to realize Matt Lillard was the accomplice, but with the way he was always bashing the 'rules' it became obvious he was in on it as well.
A total and complete failure in horror, and a complete let down for suspense films. I suggest going elsewhere for your horror/suspense fix.
