Day: November 1, 2010

A well-crafted, tense “scary movie,” it had it all: creepy things happening; sympathetic main character; awful, unsympathetic other character. I enjoy scary movies that rely on very few special effects to tell their story. It also kept me from sleeping very well that night.

In a group setting, the job of the person who has seen the movie before is to sit quietly, with a Cheshire Cat grin on his or her face, while everyone else experiences the movie. The job of said person is not to give a spoiler every two scenes. I probably would have enjoyed this movie much more if the person in the room who had seen the movie knew what his job was.
