It's the same old story: perverted killers and invincible youthful female victims, who miraculously escape every time their lives hang on the line. You seem to have experienced the atmosphere at the beginning countless times, but I think the great thing is that in the film of about an hour and a half, more than two-thirds of the time horror is completely brought about by the wind and grass. There was no chase, no bright knives, and even when the killer finally showed up at 1 hour and 10 minutes, I was really relieved. However, the chasing scenes after this inevitably fell into the clichés again. But the ending was quite unexpected, and the heroine fell into a mental panic? What I'd rather see is a strong performance like Sidney's in the "Scream" series. Otherwise, wouldn't the killer's perverted behavior succeed in another sense? Good should triumph over evil - at least that's what I'm used to in movies.
