For a horror movie..it was good.


People are upset about the story and various other reasons but almost all horror stories are terrible! What makes a good horror movie is that regardless of how long you have seen that movie, you can still remember and visualize parts of the movie. Leatherface putting a man on a meat hook while he still alive. When the woman in Wrong Turn got an ax to the face cutting her head in half and the lower half of her face and body fell all the way down from the trees hitting every branch. To further prove my point:
Final Destination...Nascar race, roller coaster, highway scene.
These visuals are still are locked in our memories regardless of time. This movie is good. Not because of the story but because it has burned itself into our minds.

Good point and I was just discussing this(Well, in a way) on 'The Shining' board. To me and most of its fans, EVERY Scene in 'The Shining' is burned into my brain. Obviously whether you feel the same about that particular film isn't the point, but the message behind your post definitely is the truth when it comes to the Genre. Images speak loudly.
