GREAT movie + then not so great.

Well, it was a quite disappointing because the first 30 minutes made me excited as hell thinking I had just discovered one of the greatest, creepiest slashers ever because of the killer sneaking around the dummies & everything but as soon as the killer walked down the stairs & started talking it went from a 10+ to about a 3 for me & it never really went up all that much from then on. I desperatly wanted the killer to remain unknown & silent or atleast whisper & do crazy giggles but once I found out the killer was a normal guy who was just a tad insane it blew the whole movie for me. I don't ever want to know the killer personally. I want it to stay a mystery & fear him & I did not fear the old guy in this movie. It could have been great.

Then maybe you should watch a movie where that happens? And then just keep watching it over and over and over. That was you can avoid ever having to see something different from what you've seen before.

Differnt isn't good anymore because when something unique happens then 100 people copy it over the decades. If it ain't broke then don't fix it.
