Very intelligent, maximum impact, minimal gore

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2000)

The best scary movie in a long time. I appreciate the minimal use of gore and the maximum use of intelligence. Thank you for making me jumpy without grossing me out. Believable acting. I found myself wanting to wrap my arms around "Cole" and take him home with me. I enjoyed the carefully crafted plot which shows you each piece of the puzzle - even puts a few together for you - but only pulls back to show you the full picture at the end - with gasping impact. This will undoubtedly become a part of my Halloween collection when it comes to video.
