As far as horror movies go, I have to place this one pretty high on the list. I do love a good horror movie, but most horror movies today aren't very good. There are so many more elements that play into making a scary movie than blood, guts, and a little profanity in order to make it a good one. This one has suspense up the wazoo, blood, guts, and a candor that is rarely seen in the horror genre these days. This movie looked exhausting to make. I think a few of these actors, particularly Jennifer Carpenter, got a loooong nights' sleep after wrapping the film. I got exhausted just watching them freak out. If you're looking for something that will make you cringe, jump, and possibly squeal, look no further. This one has just a little something for everyone. This is a good horror film.
