Suspenseful atmosphere
Great suspense and tension but abysmal ending
The director of this film (Susanne Bier) clearly studied other films of this genre to know how to successfully create a tense and suspenseful atmosphere throughout the duration of the film. Since the 'creatures' are not seen in the film, this really helps the audience's imagination picture various ideas of these 'creatures'. However, my only problem with this film is the ending feels rushed and vague which doesn't tie up any loose ends of the film. Therefore, this leads to the whole experience and atmosphere of the film being subdued by this abysmal ending which could of been improved. I feel that this film could've got a much better rating if this ending was thought about more. A brilliant film with a sub-brilliant ending

Definitely one for Horror film fans
Hilarious Horror film spoof
A great send up of Scream, I know what you did last summer and other slasher films in general. Definitely the best Scary Movie film.
