The performances are full-throttle, with Hudson as the most pig-headedly fearless heroine in years, making good on her ALMOST FAMOUS promise
-
A basic bayou thriller distinguished by a very self-conscious subversive streak

Pretty good.
I found this movie alot of fun to watch, i was expecting it to be a bit scary, but it wasn't scary at all. It wasn't as i expected but it was still a very very good storyline and great movie. i'd watch it again.

Excellent Storyline... worth watching!
This film is in the 'horror' category but really it isnt a scary film, I would certainly allow a 13 year old watch this without worrying about long-term psychological damage! The story was really well planned, with hints ALL over the place, red herrings a-plenty and basically it had me guessing and thinking the whole way until about 10 minutes before the end!
Seriously superb... To the guy who didnt understand the ending, I can explain it to you if you want its very clever and really makes the whole film! -
