Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A smart, sharply drawn genre film with a moral center and a solid cast.
...fun, energetic and fairly scary.
The payoff is less effective. It involves several teen-scream modules, such as the $1.98 Startle Effect; the Hand on the Shoulder; and the Is He Dead Yet? gambit.
Remember all those terrible slasher flicks from the '80s? This could be one of them. It certainly ain't no Scream.
