Pleasantly Scared

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 1999)

I saw this movie in Austin at the Dobie. I had been waiting for months for this film and I was not disappointed. Alot of the scares actually came from the film-makers reactions, feeling of hopelessness and dread of the dark. This film plays heavy on your fear of the dark, scaring you the way you used to scare yourself when you were 5 and in the dark. The last 20 minites totally steal the show in feelings of panic and dread. I highly recommend catching this flick when it goes wide release on the 30. Hell, some movie companies are maneuvering their releases so they don't have to compete with the wide release. Like Mystery Men and Deep Blue Sea.

Go see it. Casey
