Not bad at all

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2008)

Many people bash this movie for many reasons:
Its a modern horror. Its got big name actors. It tells a story of itself.
But, thats not how I see it. I'll admit the big name actors being present almost made me not want to see this movie, but when I saw that anyone could be killed at any time, I changed my mind. The story here is quite simple: a killer in a "ghost face" costume goes around killing teenagers. Seems too simple?
Well, actually, its quite interesting. The teenagers are not stupid, horny junkies who do stupid stuff and get themselves killed. Well...mostly not anyway.
The style of this movie is what made me enjoy is so much. One of the teens is the killer, and you sit there trying to guess who it is. Also, they refer to many past horror movies, and make it known that they are in what appears to be a "horror movie turned real".
David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Skeet Ullrich, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, and Jamie Kennedy all gave great performances. No cheesy "scare" acting involved.
I recommend this movie to fans of crime and thriller. Horror fans may find this a bit difficult to watch, but give it a try anyway. 7/10.
