I'm only giving it four stars, becuase it's not like this movie is winning academy awards. As far as the monsters and plot goes this movie was not original. But this movie was HILARIOUS. The little captions created for each character made it farsical rather than scary, evil dead style. Each character had a real personality, and wasn't driven by the plot. I didn't expect to see a seriously scary movie when I rented this, but I was pleaesently surprised by how unitentionally funny and clever it was. Fun movie
