unusual horror movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2006)

In a genre in which males are usually the protagonists, this movie was populated by only women for the most part. I am usually bored by horror movies since they are so formulaic, but this movie kept me on my toes. The plot was well-developed compared to most horror films. It was also unpredictable since I was jumping in my seat and screaming at times. My friend was terrified.
WARNING! Spoiler ahead...
The only bad thing about the movie was the typical usage of the minority as the bad person. In a movie of only Caucasian women, the one ethnic woman--Filipina actress playing a Native American--is the bad person amongst the women. Still she played the role well. She imbued the part with sympathy so that I didn't feel that she deserved her fate. You end up feeling sorry for all the women and what ends up happening to each and every one of them. Good movie! I'm recommending it to everyone that I talk to.
