Very good but not quite up to all the hype...

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 1999)

Truly this is the scariest movie I have seen for some time. It proves that a good horror movie doesn't need a lot of blood, guts, or special effects to be effective. Many have ranked this movie with Psycho, but I would definitely not go that far. While it is scary in the night scenes, the day scenes tend to drag on. I was always anxious for it to get dark again - when all the scary things happened. In my opinion, Psycho never dragged along. But, regardless, I am telling everyone I know to go see it. It will most likely be their best scare for quite some time.
