Tiny spoiler
When the funniest part of a comedy is the out-takes in the final credits, it's probably not a very funny movie. Similarly, when the most frightening part of a horror movie is the opening credit sequence, it's probably not a very scary movie. But the opening credits would make a fantastic three minute radio play. Unfortunately they set the bar so high the rest of the film is a disappointment by comparison. However, the opening by itself really is worth the price of admission - though no doubt it's more effective when it can take the viewer by surprise (i.e. when you forget that there's something special about the opening by the time you get to see the film).
