Classic thriller, a real Saturday-night-on-couch-with-lover movie.

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 1999)

This was a really good movie. Even though we've seen this type of movie thousands of times before, it still remains spine-chillingly scary. So what if it is predictable, it is fun! This is what scary movies should be about, take the innocent young girl, put her alone in a big house with a psychopathic killer lurking around and WHAM, you've got a hit. That is the ultimate recipe for scary movies.
Drew Barrymore's performance is gut-wrenchingly real. The actors in this movie portray terrified and confused teenagers with endearing realism. I thought this to be a really good movie, perfect for Saturday nights with your bf/gf, cuddling on the couch and eating popcorn. Typical Hollywood, classic horror, thanks Wes!
