Quotes: Helen:
Hey, its all about the hair. Don't you forget that. Especially when you become some big hotshot lawyer. Those professional types think its all about brains and ability and completely ignore the do Julie:

User Review
I love this movie.
Rating: 10/10
When I first watched this movie I only watched it for Sarah Michelle
Gellar. But after seeing it I loved everything about it. And I came on
here expecting at least a 6.5. But a 5.2? The story is original. Four
teens are in great danger one year after their car hits a stranger
whose body they dump in the sea. Everyone gave great performances, esp.
Sarah Michelle Gellar. On top of that, this movie was frightening. This
movie is great and I definitely recommend it. It is definitely a movie
you should watch for both entertainment and originality purposes. It is
definitely one to see if you enjoyed 'Scream'. The many plot twists and
the many scares it will give you makes it an excellent movie.
