The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I had high hopes. The story was compelling and Henry Thomas and Kelli Garner were great together. The film was beautifully shot with lots of fun saturated colors, the technique of jumping between the horror story and the conversation between the 2 actors was fantastic and the dialogue snapped....It just fell flat at the end. It was a fairly predictable ending and way too weak for such a great build up.It's a good example of how great acting and film technique can be undermined by a weak story. It's sad really. It was like having a delicious appetizer, a great main course and then eating crap for dessert.The film makers show promise, but overall a 7 was the highest I could give this. It had an 8.5 going into the last 10 minutes.One of the dumbest endings ever.

To lump this film in with horror comedies is doing it a disservice, as I think it's so much better than that. Personally, I don't care for horror comedies and thought this film was way too smart, clever and enjoyable to be deemed just another horror/comedy genre film. I can't wait to watch it with the commentary to see what I missed. You need to watch this film, and watch it on Blu-Ray as it looks amazing. I'm not going to tell you the plot of the film, so go read the reviews if you want to know what the film is about, just don't overlook it, as it's a true gem. If your looking for a lame slash and gash flick with horrible dialog and predictable story plots then this film isn't for you, go watch Cabin Fever again. Solid, solid little film!DustinL

If you can't guess what is going to happen within about 10 minutes, then you obviously paid no attention during your literary courses and you need some serious mental help. Of course, this movie sets itself up as being all about the journey itself, and on that note, I feel it must get a mixed review. As others have pointed out in some reviews I've read, there is some visual appeal here and there. I did love the peep hole scenes and odd camera angles. But they spent way too much time telling the 'story' of the murders at the cabin, all of which includes too much unnecessary gore. Something about the film just feels wrong, like they tried too hard and rushed too much rather than taking their time, or maybe they just alloted the time they did have to all the wrong things. The concept of a serial killer revealing his recent killing spree to someone in the disguise of a fictional story is intriguing, but I think the concept could've been executed much more effectively as a drama than a predictable, fairy-tale-like parody of already cheesy 80's slasher films. Think about it--let the characters meet, maybe let the killer be more complex and less one dimensional so he has genuine feelings for the girl, then somehow they unintentionally end up back at the scene of his crimes. In that scenario, you wouldn't know what he would choose to do. Will he kill his new love interest? Will he sacrifice himself to spare her? Maybe she is a bit dark as well, so there's even a question as to whether or not she'd turn him in anyway. Now that is a movie I'd like to see. This one, not so much. A pleasant diversion, visually, but you'd have to be a zombie to even feign surprise at the outcome. I mean, come on, a creepy guy who makes no bones about hating the girl from the very beginning? How could that possibly go wrong?

I must say it's been awhile since I have seen a good horror flick, and when I had the chance to see Red Velvet, I jumped on it. The movie is so unique and different it kept me wanting more even when it was over. I admit I jumped during the movie and I laughed at scenes. It was both scary and comedic at the same time that's what makes it so cool to watch. Leaving the theater I had both a smile on my face and a feel of being satisfied, I finally got to sit down in the theater and watch something different, something original, something unique other then re-makes.. That same night I had a dream that my boyfriend was the killer in the movie and after me, so for the movie having that type of effect on me, I think that's awesome.
