Definitely Worth Seeing

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2014)

I've always been a fan of the horror genre, but it seems like these days horror films are too contrived. So I'm always on the lookout for something with a little more character. I had heard promising things about this movie so I was very eager to sit down and watch it. I'm not gonna bother giving a synopsis or a plot summary since that's already available on IMDb but I will say that I really liked the storyline. Sure, it's not the most incredible plot ever written, but it's engaging enough. For those of you who are wondering why I gave this movie a 9, allow me to explain. I typically rate movies according to their genres, and intended reactions. In this case, the purpose of a horror film is to scare the crap out of people. I personally felt this film did a great job in the scare department. This movie not only feels solid because of its plot, but also because of Ethan Hawke's acting. Seriously, this dude brought so much personality to the role. This movie wouldn't be half of what it is without him. Overall: if you're a horror fan this movie is worth seeing.
