This movie starts off as one kind of movie, but soon evolves into a "slasher flick" that delivers a real punch. Jennifer Jason Leigh's performance is the star of the film, as she moves from sweet, shy small-town girl in the big city to big league slasher. The fact that most of the violence is telegraphed is a plus, as the creepy dread builds and builds. Well worth your time.
I just saw this movie in July of 2006; long enough after release for any memories of the movie's PR efforts to be not even a distant memory, so I had no expectations. Strong performances by all those with significant roles were still more to enjoy.
