Clichéd, originality.

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2017)

This movie is clichéd, yet original (oxymoronic, I know). That's what truly makes it great though. The film makes fun of many of the slasher film clichés, many of which Wes Craven adopted in his other movies. Which is funny that he sort of parodies himself. But with all the cliché parody, this film presents an intriguing mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end (which is certainly not clichéd). I gave it a ten, because it does what it is suppose to do flawlessly. Is it Citizen Kane or Shawshank....no...but it was not suppose to be. This is a slasher film meant ro reinvent the genre, and it did just that. However, they did it in a way that is truly original at the same time. This really is a very smart concept, and Craven pulled it off perfectly. Definitely a film that all horror fans need to watch. The characters are actually interesting, and watching it a second time after knowing the ending is so much fun.
