Waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2007)

I really don't understand how some people can say this is such a great horror movie, and no, it's not because I'm a mindless teenager who only loves movies with lots of gore. "The Exorcist" is a prime example of a good horror movie, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "SAW" aren't bad, either.
Many people say the reason some don't like this movie is because it causes them to think...that's ridiculous. What's there to think about!? The only question is whether or not the monsters are real, and that's not much. How does an intriguing ending make up for an entire movie? None of the characters are likable. Their "friendly banter" in the cabin is boring, it doesn't show us how close they are. Supposedly, this trip is supposed to make Sara feel better...so why doesn't she know any of these girls? It doesn't make any sense! Holly is stupid. Plain and simple. She's supposed to know how to do this, but instead she runs headfirst into a cave and breaks her leg. I was happy when she died.
Juno was a bitch. And flaky, as well.
Sara was absolutely the worst though. She was a completely wimp the ENTIRE time even though we're led to believe she ENJOYS doing this. Bats? Verrry scary. Maybe at first, but geez, calm down after awhile! Then she freaked out in the cave and almost got herself and the other girl killed. Then she MURDERED Juno at the end of the movie!!! There are no scares in this movie. The monsters are so-so, and the lighting is so bad you can't see what's going on half the time anyway. Even moments when something jumps out and is supposed to startle you, it's not the least bit frightening. This IS a horror movie, right??? I'm sorry, but this movie is a pathetic attempt at being a psychological thriller. Don't watch it. Don't waste your time.
