Wow.

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2006)

Wow. This movie is phenomenal. This is how movie remakes should definitely be done!!! Aja is... wow... he's so good. So the movie starts off with the Carters going on a trip to California. They want to find out if there is a shortcut so they stop at a gas station and ask for directions. The merchant tells them to follow a certain road, they do. The road to hell...So, anyway. They are on the road and don't see the spikes on the road. Their wheels get severed, but luckily they have a trailer home. They decide to wait it out. I don't want to say anything else. But this is when it gets really intense. I do admit, the pacing was a little to fast for the scenes to come, but nonetheless, it was well done! This movie made me feel things I've never felt. Claustrophobia, Anxiety, Suspense, Dread, Aw. I shuddered at some of the scenes. There was some drama in the movie, which helps the audience catch its breath, but right after we go back in to another fright-fest. The characters are well developed, so, that you actually care for them. People were clapping when some of the scenes were going on because it was so intense! Wow. Great job Aja, also kudos to the makeup!!! well done! This movie sets a high mark for all the upcoming remakes that will be done. Great movie! 9/10 on my list.
