Pretty fun scare

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2006)

I just got back from watching this film. I thought it was a pretty decent horror/thriller. It had plenty of "make you jump" moments. It was a little on the gory side; more of the violent "axe to the head" kind than the "zombie eating guts" kind (though there was a little of that!).
It's not a happy film. Bad things happen to the good guys unnecessarily and in a way that is a little upsetting. If the stupid kid had just told his family about the dog maybe they would have been prepared. But I think that makes this movie less formulaic. I give a B, which to me equals 7 out of 10.
