There's not much more than great to say, but...

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 1999)

When I left the theater, there were people who whispered words of disapointment, and yet, I had to wonder why. Granted, the movie did not have the big-budget, special-effects, that you find in the current Horrors and Thrillers, such as Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Other than that, it was so much more. First off, this movie presents the unknown as the threat, not some guy in a mask. Seeing that guy in a mask limits your imagination, while this unknown can be anything, and it is to each individual audience member. Next, the acting was infinitely better than that in any big-budget box-office smash. These people are real, and appear that way, unlike the unbalanced and weak characters in the Screams and I Knows. The three main stars work so well together, that it appears to be a reality. Also, with the cinematagraphy, it actually felt that the audience was right there with the characters. I can not say enough about this film, besides that it is a refreshing break from the spoon-feed horrors that have been shoved down our throats the last couple of years, with its Hitchcock-ian style, a definite return to something that we have not seen in a long time.
