...common with earlier indie horror classics like Night of the Living Dead, Last House on the Left, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Evil Dead, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, the new film makes a virtue of its seeming artlessness. A picture's dead air, ragged acting and extreme shifts of emotional tone throw the viewer off balance. This is not your standard Hollywood movie, whose technical finesse reassures even as it excites.

George W. Bush likes to joke that when one of his daughters saw how well he was doing in the polls, she told him, "Dad, you're not as cool as they think you are." That's about all we're likely to hear this campaign from either of his 17-year-old twins, Barbara and Jenna. As granddaughters of a President, they are already monitored by the Secret Service, which has asked the campaign to skimp on the details of how the pair spent the summer...
