I absolutely loved this movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2013)

Whatever you do don't read the reviews before seeing this movie!!
I didn't and I am so relieved I didn't. There are spoilers everywhere - even when unintended AND some of the reviews seem like they were written by people who've never seen it!!
I noticed several slamming this movie and giving it such low scores you'd think it was the worst movie ever made when the opposite is more the case. I can only assume those people stopped watching it after a particular point very early in the movie, (you'll know what I mean if you've seen it), having made certain assumptions that would have proved totally wrong if they'd stuck with it.
This is easily one of the best movies I've seen and has gone straight to my top 10 favourites. It has everything you'd ever want from a horror movie and none of what you don't want. Original, smart, sexy, funny, scary, action-packed and surprises at every turn. Great acting, wonderful cinematography, directing and special effects and - for once - characters I actually cared about.
This movie succeeded where so many have failed - it surprised me - and delighted me. Just when you think you've got it all figured out...... BAM!.... it sideswipes you again and again. On top of that it doesn't play cute and hide stuff so that the ending has a cheap "twist" that is really just an illogical "add-on". The twists and turns in this movie are way too cunning to need such fraudulent manipulation.
I wasn't going to bother watching this movie because I'd assumed it would be exactly like all the other run of the mill horror flicks that have been around lately & didn't want to waste my time. But once I saw Josh Whedon's name attached to it I had to give it a chance. And am I glad I did.
Don't miss this one. :)
