4/4 stars

I admire this film for its great ability to balance humour and terror. Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, and Leelee Sobieski did a really good job. There were believable as a screw-up, a good guy at heart, and a girl next door, respectively. Steve Zahn made me laugh so much due to the things he says and his facial expressions. Paul Walker is eye candy. Leelee Sobieski manages to put some heart into the picture. If it weren't for those three, this would've been a typical slasher movie with no substance. Because the three of them are so charismatic, the audiences are able to care more for the characters the actors are portraying. I did like the twists because they felt natural (we all experience paranoia when we know we did something wrong). I always recommend this to friends and it never lets them down. I don't mind watching this film repeatedly as well because it's just that entertaining.
