While there is no physical killer, the death scenes, and those leading up to the death scenes, are skillfully done. Every time one of the characters are left alone, it is obvious that they are going to die, and the director takes great pride in keeping the audience on the edge of its seat. The scene with the teacher is especially well done. The only slightly disappointing scene was the plane explosion scene. Yes, and no.
People get decapitated, stabbed, splattered, and vaporized, so there is a horror element.
But some wanting a more standard horror formula will be disappointed. This movie probably won't suit all fans, but it is a good change from the Scream clones that we have seen over the last couple of years. The trailer has a great setup, great suspense, and just about great everything. I hope they make more trailers like this. Reviews Erik Samdahl 2001.
