Horror genre is one of the hardest genre to do, its hard to come up with something scary that hasn't been done before. This movie is one of the first of its kind and its not a bad movie per se. There are many clever set up and pay off in the story and the story itself is cool. They're using sound to add the scary elements perfectly, especially during the chainsaw chasing scene. All the horror elements are crafted beautifully but I do not find all that scary at all. And if the movie's goal is to fright the audience then it failed. It also gets boring quite fast, once you know whats happening you can quickly pick up about whats about to happen and it's just not fun nor scary. I also hate the fact that this movie gave birth to an entire generation of crap worse than this.
