Perfect for young horror fans
This movie's perfect for young horror fans, who probably couldn't handle the really disturbing stuff. It definitely gets less scary after you get older, but it's good fun at the time I didn't find the sex scene too offensive, because after all, the couple involved is married, and well...this is what married people do. If you're still trying to convince your childen otherwise, I suggest you examine your parenting skills a little bit closer.

An intriguing thriller
This movie looks scarier then it is. Even though a few scenes made me jump, the movie was more intriguing then scary. The violent content is more mild then most thrillers. A car accident scene shows one character hitting her head on the car's side window. And another accident scene shows a bridge cable going through a car's windshield (it's assumed that the driver died, but the body was never showed). In my opinion, the language was too strong for a PG-13 movie. That's the main thing about this movie that parents should be warned about.

If you've nothing better to do, watch this with friends!
I watched it when I was 13 or 14... really, it traumatised me. To the extent that I can remember certain scenes negatively even now in my 30s. If I were to watch it again, I think it'll be different, but based on my personal experience of watching it then, it isn't positively fantastical a la Labyrinth starring David Bowie, but gave an impressionistic and imaginative young teen fears and nightmares.
