  1. It starts pushing buttons immediately and never lets up. This proves to be both its strongest asset and, unfortunately, its biggest flaw.

    While it does deliver some good jolts, it never quite cranks up the terror.
  3. 38
    A dull, dumb and derivative horror film.
  4. They never generates any real fear until its last minutes, by which time it is too late to redeem the dull events that preceded them.

    excellent horror filmaking classic working thrills and eveyrthing you can ask for in what is wes craven's newest classic.
  2. THEY are part of one of the worst movies I have seen in years. I'm not even sure who the THEY are! Usually Wes Craven doesn't put his name on something unless it's decent. This isn't even close to decent. This is the slowest, most boring horror film I've ever seen! "Hey remember that that scared us 19 years ago, when we were kids, well all of a sudden it's back, so ummm call your childhood psychologist." Laura Regan is laughable, getting more upset by some crap on her finger than her friend blowing his head off in front of her, and it's just downhill from there. There is nothing scary about this film. I really have to question how like this even gets made. Expand
