Slasher horror definitely isn't my favorite sub-genre, but this one impressed me after I found it at a second-hand shop 13 years after its release. I really found it avoided the pitfalls of most slasher flicks as it had:
-likeable characters you cared about
-solid special effects
-somewhat sensible character decisions
-GREAT actors
Can definitely say it aged well- worth the watch if you can handle the gore! As stated in precious reviews, yes its a slasher and can be predictable, but its very well executed!!
