Why Do People Think It's So Bad?

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2004)

Let the Bad People Not Be Seen... They're Not Attractive.
Never Enter the Forest... For That is Where They Gain Weight.
Heed the Warning Smell... They Are Coming.
Well, all joking aside...
The above is really the only thing I can criticise about the movie- or more specifically, the publicity for it. The theme of "thriller film" was played up. In reality, it's more of a "suspense film". Which, I suspect, could have been why some people were disappointed by the movie.
True, the monsters could have been played up a bit more. But, hey! Then it would have been and entirely different script. I would have to say that, in its entirety, this movie is generally perfect. Everything comes together nicely.
A little TOO nicely... I was almost more surprised at the fact that no one found their little village at the end than I was at the "scary" scenes.
