Classic? Maybe. Scary? I think not.
Now I consider myself a huge horror fan and I appreciate the genre more than most. I did not understand all the hype on this one. I expected bigger chase scenes and heavier gore. The gore in this movie doesn't exist, it's left to your imagination. That would be fine, but there are times the camera quality is so bad I can't even see what's happening to the girl. On the other hand the bad quality of the camera is one of it's strongest points. You feel like someone's making a homevideo and the killer family in this one feels a little too real. They just look like crazies that we've all probably passed on the streets before. As for the chase scences they were perfect. I tensed up through it all and could almost feel how the girl would. Overall this movie is worth a watch and if you're a fan of the genre you'll enjoy this one. Just don't expect anything like today's horror. Maybe that's a good thing...........
