This is a film that quite effectively portrays people's fear and contrasts it with relatively entertaining scenes. This is something the film deserves credit for - it managed to combine entertainment with horror. Because even from a horror perspective, there are quite good scenes here, although focused more on gore than on actual terror. With this film, however, the creators didn't miss the mark as much, and it's still very watchable.
