Pretty scary

As someone who watches a lot of horror, I really can't quite figure why this one was scary. I caught the first 30 mins when it was shown on TV and felt compelled to track it down to watch the whole movie. So obviously I thought it was good.

My 16 year old daughter loves horror movies, CSI, all things blood and guts (not quite as bad as the two girls' characters in this film!). However, she did not thank me for letting her watch this. She couldn't sleep for hours after watching it and still didn't want to be reminded the next day. Extra fun for me ribbing her about it then;-)

I can certainly see some will watch it and find it low-budget American junk. Well, let's face it, isn't most horror.

In many ways I would liken this to American Warewolf in London, which I also thought was a combination of some scarey bits but a whole lot of tongue-in-cheek humour.

Rent it, enjoy it, but don't expect a screen classic, just a good horror movie. Make your kids watch it, and wait for Soicial Services to come knocking... (joke!)
