Brilliant!

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2011)

It is the perfect combination of events to elicit a not so subtle jump out of your chair in regular intervals. The characters are convincing without having to observe them for very long. You will never know who to trust and that element plays with you for the duration of the film. The plot is clever and suspenseful and the action starts early enough in the film that you will not wait long before your first eye-goggling experience. Even if you prefer CGI effects over "old-school"...you will be visually disturbed more than once. If you like watching movies alone or with friends, give this one a try. It is definitely not for the squeamish and if you are a "screamer" you will most likely demonstrate your talent several times over. This is my favorite John Carpenter film. Enjoy!
