WHY OH WHY IS THIS SO POPULAR?!?!?!?

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2000)

I just DON'T get it. What on Earth is so "spectacular" about this??? It was more of a sedative than anything else! It ended too fast and it felt like there was so much to it missing/unexplained. The PG-13 rating also hurt it alot (obviously it got rated as such because it revolved around, well, a kid!) because it put a stranglehold on what they could/were willing to do with the film. It was obviously scenes were missing from a more detail, R-rated cut. THIS IS THE DIRECTION HORROR MOVIES ARE HEADED IN??? Oh man, first Scream, the I Know What You Did Last Summer, now this??? The genre will NEVER recapture it's glory from the late-70's and early-80's, due in part that nobody is willing to make them in that wonderful, amazing fashion were no holds were barred, no rules were set. Siiiiigh.....
