As long as you don't invest too heavily in its early promise, you'll find it a passable piece of entertainment.

The premise may seem simple, but the story is an involved one with great characters and developments.

You might not have all the pieces fitting perfectly, but hindsight quickly fills in the blanks. That's a testament to an underrated script and a deceivingly worthwhile film.

I don’t know why I didn’t turn this movie off… I fast forwarded to the end, and when I saw the end, I regretted watching it. Some movies just hate their audience, this is one of those movies

With so much twists and turns, false alarms, dialog and melodrama, and almost 2 hours film duration, it'd certainly fare better as a reworked TV mini-series.

The movie starts off with a Wilhelm Scream. It's not a comedy, but it's hysterically stupid. The 92% rating is incredibly suspect and further degrades any credence that this website has.

I would give it a higher rating, if the movie wasn't so damn confusing. You really have to pay attention to all the small, unclear details. I had to watch this twice to figure out , the surviving women was really the biological daughter Katie, of her killer mom. Even when she tells her real name in the ending, you still don't want to believe it. Another good movie to watch if you liked this is The Man in the white van.

I almost shut it off and went “ok Halloween with a female Michael Myers” I’m glad I didn’t. Ok , I saw the plot coming a mile away but I usually do so that’s not important (no lie I called the sixth sense and scream 1/4 into the movie - seriously I did ) but what I didn’t call is characters that I actually cared about , a death that shocked me and the perfect slasher ending a scenes. I really really want to stress that it’s a little of a slow burn until all hell breaks loose but (takes 1/2 the movie to really start up) but it had something slasher don’t have anymore- exposition. Very good. Very very good
