Guys, don't hate me, but I have to agree with GorePhobia and ChronoGrl... this movie is lacking tremendously. I know I'm a "newb", so my opinion doesn't mean shit, but in all honesty, this is very overrated.

Everything I've read is like, "One of the greatest of all time!", "Just as good as Friday the 13th!!", "The greatest slasher flick in the past 20 years!!", "Unforgettable!!"...

... so, being a die-hard horror fan, I was like, "Sweeeeet, I must buy this movie. I won't even bother renting it... I'll just BUY the damn thing."

Here's where I went wrong.

I'll admit, it was $10.00 at Wal-Mart, so I thought I'd just go ahead and purchase it blindly. When I went home and popped it in, I was hyped to the max, and then I sat waiting PATIENTLY for something cool to happen. It never did.

The deaths are COOL, I'll give it that, and although it pains me to be this brutally honest (I'm just being honest, guys), this movie isn't very impressive.

I can name a DOZEN films better than this... High Tension... Hills Have Eyes... so on and so forth. I know the budget is totally different, but come on, it's still fair to compare.

And the humor was very dry. It's like a comedian not getting a laugh and all you hear are crickets. I didn't laugh one time... and I WANTED to love this movie. I actually TRIED HARD... it's not like I popped it in with a shitty attitude... I was very enthusiastic about it!!

It kills me to say it... but 1/5.
