Instead of using ominous music and loud noises to frighten the audience, victims are graphically killed with famous 60’s guitar rock playing in the background. Their own horror is not melodramatic, but written in the confusion and shock across their faces. The killing scenes are arranged similarly to those in “Jaws”: random characters are introduced, impending doom is certain, and goosebumps shoot down the back...
