What a horror movie should be

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 1999)

Most people who see this movie will either love it or hate it. The movie is completely psychological in its terror, which is, I think, much stronger and disturbing on a basic level than the drivel which passes as horror films today. If your idea of scary is someone in a raincoat/hockey mask/cheap halloween costume graphically killing teenagers with a hook/machete/garden weasel, then this movie isn't for you -- wait until the next installment of "Scream if you Know What I Did The Last Time I Had A Nightmare when Halloween fell on Friday the 13th" comes out. If, on the other hand, your idea of scary involves projecting yourself into the characters and sharing the psychological terror they experience, see this movie. You won't be disappointed.
