Nice and spooky

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2000)

This was a very worthwhile movie, very different to the 'Scream' generation horror flicks. Instead of 'in your face' scares every two minutes, we were treated to a delicious psychological build up of unease, culminating in that wonderfully 'open to interpretation' ending. I agree that the main characters are sometimes 'stupid', but maybe that was because they're human? It's not the best horror film by any means, but a very notable addition to the genre. That it cost practically nothing to make goes to show that you don't need a $200 million budget to win at the box office....just a good idea and good execution.....(although a massive publicity campaign can help I suppose)....don't go and see it expecting to be scared every two seconds, go and be 'nicely' disturbed for 80 mins or so...
