Slick, by-the-book modern horror-comedy skips along merrily enough, hits all the marks, etc, but is let down part way through by the lamest-looking movie monster yet. Also, its general by-the-bookishness isn’t much of a turn on. I really wish Wes Craven would just pick up a 16mm camera and make something genuinely horrific and disturbing again. Christina Ricci seems to know what she’s doing, though, she manages to come out of the movie with just a little more integrity left than everyone else. That could just be my thing for her though :-p Get the unrated version, btw, it has more laughs, I mean, scares
