I had been hoping to be scared, and i can say that i was absolutely terrified by this movie. It begins slow, with a half hour or so going by before anything remarkable happens. They get you laughing alot, which was great because so few scary movies can juggle the humor and the scares as well as this film did. I will agree it took a bit too long to get to the climax, and that once it climaxed it was over which wasn't what i was expecting but it was effective. I can proudly say this movie kept me from going to bed last night. Highly Recommended for those who could handle it.
