actually subverted my expectations, I thought it would suck but turned out to be scarier than most movies I've seen before. From the viewpoint of the killer, it's easy to empathize due to him showing genuine emotions throughout the film. He's just a guy who didn't get the help he needed when he was a kid. Knowing why he does what he does still doesn't justify his actions, and I really like that about the movie. It doesn't victimize the killer or make him a completely heartless monster. Anyway, 5 stars and I would reccomend!! Haven't heard an audience clap as much as this for a long time.
