One of the best horror films ever

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2003)

This is not a movie you need to watch if you have been raised on "I Know What You Did Last Summer" type horror films. No, this film is for people who grew up watching the films that "Scream", "IKWYDLS", etc., got their ideas from.
It's a low-budget 1980's cult classic because it's full of originality, humor, and genuinely scary, sick moments, it never takes itself seriously and neither should the viewer. It intends to scare you, make you laugh, cringe, and even gag at times, and it succeeds in these areas admirably despite its budget and its numerous flaws. Keep in mind that it was made by college students who, in spite of being amateurs, put their best efforts into it. They did a great job and as a result the film is dear to my heart and to many other people who have seen it time and again over the years.

If you can't relax and enjoy a horror film because you're expecting "Sixth Sense" type mind games (not knocking "Sixth Sense", though, it was excellent), then you are also among the folks who should avoid this one, since there is nothing subtle or thought-provoking about it. It's in your face from the start and isn't the slightest bit ashamed of it, but it's done in a very friendly, tongue-in-cheek way. People should just sit back, relax, make fun of the mistakes and bad acting, and enjoy the scares, which are many. A great party flick.
