The opening scene with the woman and her family immediately surprised me, and, truly delighted that this wasn't going to be one of those low budget horror flicks that stick to a formula, I settled back prepared to enjoy this movie... thinking I was in for a movie treat. But low and behold, after the excitement of the opening scene, the film turns to the college students... and this is a bit of a bore ...
