More Suspense Than horror
Added 11/18/2009
I enjoyed this movie. It was set in the 1980's and I think the filmmakers did a good job of bringing the era to life. The acting was good as well. But please be forewarned, this movie is more of a suspense film rather than a traditional horror flick. I'd say 3/4 of this movie is about building suspense. It's not until the last quarter of the movie that we get the gore and chase scene of a horror film. I do think at times the scenes went on too long. For me, there's a fine line between suspense and getting too long in the tooth. But I did jump and scream several times, so in my book, the movie was worth the rental.

It defiantly has an 80s feel to it and even thought the movie is a little short and missing some info. The story line was good. In all I have to say I did like it.

This movie plodded on without any interest being developed until the last 30 minutes. Incredibly poorly developed plot. it was every 70' grade B movie, ending in Rosemary's Baby. Can I get my money back?

A breath of fresh air in the horror movie genre

We live in an age of movies custom-made for ADD addled gore-junkies who want to see the same torture-porn flicks re-hashed, or see classic film "re-visioned" into hollywood crap-fests. This movie was a brilliant departure from that trend. Yes, it is slow moving (though without saying much, you do get your body count somewhat early). But the point of the film is to build the suspense, and in that manner it did so very well.
There were some low points...grabbing of the knife at the onset seemed a bit unrealistic. They did force a lot into the last ten minutes and it seemed like they should have developed it out just a little more. But other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Reminded me of past thrillers that seem to now take a back seat to the bloodbath crap or comedy-horror that is en vogue.
