The opening was a well shot intro to the horrors that is to become Devil's Lake I mean Devil's Kettle. The story was worthy and darkly entertaining, with some funky teen dialog thrown in for good measure. The acting was strong, especially for a teen horror flick. The direction was solid, and the production values were strong. How the scenes unfolded, with competent use of parallelism and narration, was a definite boon. This one did not rely on effects, but neither did it shirk the camera away when things got gruesome. Then ending was handled nicely, not giving way to a simple Hollywood denouement, though cathartic nonetheless. Overall it was 100 minutes well spent. Merci beaucoup.

Glad to see someone else reciprocate my views on these two films.
9 was certainly a disappointment in terms of character development and I wasn't overawed by it.
And contrary to all the Diablo Cody and Megan Fox haters out there, I enjoyed Jennifer's Body quite a bit and thought it had a pretty interesting premise.
