how many heart attacks can one person stand?

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2005)

I went to this film expecting to be trembling with fear and I was 99.9% right. It was very jumpy... when the music starts you know something is coming up and you prepare yourself for it but it still catches you off guard... like a good horror film should.
I loved the all female team... very refreshing to see. The only male was the husband at the beginning who only lasted around 5-10 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that they weren't all American actresses. Only one was American. The others were a mixture of Irish, English and Scottish. But it seemed like a huge budget American film... hard to explain but usually British just don't cut it, so this was a real treat!
A lot of good twists, gory/bloody scenes and what I was quite impressed with, although not surprising, was the one-liners some of the characters came out with. Added a bit of humour to it now and again, which was ideal as I love comedy the most.
One death scene caused a lot of upset for one of the characters, and it did hit a nerve with me. That was a good little bit in the story, to keep it real to the fact that here are these 5 or 6 friends who are all fighting for their lives and they desperately need their friends when things go wrong.
If you haven't got time to see it at the cinema, rent it on video/DVD as soon as it's released near you! Well worth it! But you will need someone to grab onto at the jumpy parts.
