The first movie to ever send chills through my body!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 1999)

After the disappointment of super-hyped-up summer movies like Austin Powers, Star Wars, and Eyes Wide Shut I was a little skeptical going into this one. But, wow! I was sitting next to a friend of mine at the theatre and we were left sitting w/ our hands over our mouths at the end. What a movie. This is what I've been longing for. Isn't it ironic that what I feel is perhaps one of the greatest movies ever made was done by two college film-school buddies, with their credit cards, with no-name actors, with no blood, special effects or violence, and with camcorders! I'm tempted to never pay for a movie again. Those characters were so real! I found myself telling them to calm down and try to pull together, I wanted them to get out of there alive. On the other hand, I wanted Love Hewitt to get slashed by that hook. What a great idea these guys had. I'll take them over James Cameron (Titanic, c'mon!) any day.
