More hype than film

Rating: 5/10 (21 February 2000)

I heard all about this film so I finally went and saw it. Now I am wondering what the rave reviews were about. Perhaps I missed something? But it seems to me to be an OK movie only. It wasn't that scary...it really wasn't *that* anything. It was not exceptional in any way. There was perhaps some innovative cinematography, but that would be about it. I had a friend dare me to go camping right after seeing it. I think if I had a battery-powered TV, it wouldn't bother me to watch it while I was camping.
