I foresee a sequel

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 2006)

I happened to be in the Houston area when I saw this movie; and there seemed to be more marketing for this movie in Texas that back home on the east coast. I have to admit, I went to see the film with a bit of skepticism; as I am an old fan of 'Aliens'. However, I found myself a bit surprised with this movie. All those Texans in the theater, were shouting and screaming at certain points of the film and I guess that's a good thing. At first I felt the movie took a little long to develop itself and, at the end, I felt that I saw two separate movies. However, I quickly became convinced that this movie was based more on Sarah's psycosis rather than the "monsters." I think she may have been hallucinagenic and that perhaps there really weren't any monsters to begin with. After all, she did "mistakenly" kill one of her friends, which spun off another series of different but curious events in the film. I'm certain that a sequel will follow that will eventually explain the original in greater detail. All in all, the movie provided for some good screams (atleast in Texas)and I guess thats a favorable thing. It's a great movie--I haven't seen a great scary movie like this in years!
