Jake Stevenson’s review:
Don't be fooled into thinking you know exactly what's gonna happen if you've seen the trailer for this because trust me, you don't.
The set up is achingly familiar - five college kids embark on a road trip to a deserted cabin - but the execution is anything but.
First time director Drew Goddard & co-writwer Wheddon have immense fun twisting & turning every tired cliche' in the horror manual to craft something every bit as clever at commenting on the genre as the original Scream.
Best Bit - The final 20 minutes, The Harbinger talking via speaker phone, Anna Hutchinson (WOW!).
Worst Bit - Fran Kranz's annoying voice.
