Because 1. It's kinda scary, but really because 2. It's the meta-movie made up of just about every other horror movie.

I read this on the AV Club so I know it's true.

There were some tense moments. The intro to killing scene. The mass slaughter at the end.

Well, the movie's premise indicates that all other horror movies were rituals performed to appease the Old Ones.

As shown in this Joss Whedon film.

You're right though in that it does hearken back to Buffy Season IV.

No, it's one of the other failed rituals shown earlier in the film.

tucker and dale is fantastic

cabin is awesome, but not the best

Evil Dead 2, The Thing and the original Alien are superior.

Also watch Jacob's Ladder.
