have to 100% root for this flick

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2000)

.....however many mediocre copycats came after it, they all missed the point of the original. The irony of the entire story. Making fun of the horror genre everyone loves to make fun of, but ironically making the same mistakes. I didn't watch the sequels...but something tells me (I don't want to say they'd be bad JUST because they're sequels) that I wouldn't be missing anything, because the original was SO entertaining!
I also loved the way this movie was structured...we all know those B-level horror movies we watch and then regret...but this one stylistically beats even movies that aren't horror, but suspense thrillers. For example, after the first killing in the beginning, I think we'd all agree that the humor was good to come after this because it was served as comic relief.

All in all, a very impressive movie for its genre, a definite mark in setting a new standard for horror films to come.
