Very scary in hindsight

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 1999)

Too many people have complained that this film isn't scary, thats is boring, that that characters are stupid, etc, without putting proper thought into it. This is one of those movies that is scary after the actual event, rather than being scary while you're watching it. At first I was quite disappointed, but once I discussed it with my friends and began to work things out and piece things together, I realised that most of the time the trio are lost in the woods is very suspenseful and leads up to a spooky finale with a very haunting closing image.
So, my point is, don't go and see this film if you're not prepared to have a good, long think about it. If you pay attention and stay alert during the sometimes irritating (but infamous) camerawork, then you're in for one of the best, most original films on the decade. 8/10
