Three girls, trapped in a house with a serial killer on the roof. He's armed with a crossbow, and he's out to kill them all for no apparent reason. While this summary sounds like a hundred other mediocre slasher films, this film plays a psychological game with believable characters and uses a steadily building pace to keep you tense and scared. It avoids many standard genre pitfalls, includes some wicked satire on talk radio and local television news, and overall feels smart, and, well, claustrophobic.
Sheeri Rappaport pretty much steals the show as Gina, the boldest of the girls, although Mary Lynn Rajskub is also excellent as Grace, the graceless nerd girl who seems to be a little too up on the subject of serial killers. As an added bonus, the film features a brief appearance by Judy O'Dea, of Night of the Living Dead fame, for those of you who remember it.
