you just go on with the interview, remember that your word of honor is at stake, so be courteous enough to show yourself there.
besides it was you who made an appointment, so just take this opportunity and be interviewed. if you dont like the company, then just consider the interview as your practice ground for other interview of companies that interest you. also, during the interview phase, you may have this chance to affirm if your impression is correct...and from there you decide if you will still back out...
it can never be a waste of time after all....

There's nothing wrong with cancelling an interview and letting an employer know that the job just isn't for you. You'd be doing the right thing by not wasting their time interviewing someone who's just not interested.
But timing is important! With just a couple of hours to go, it would be inappropriate to cancel at this point, barring an emergency.
My suggestion, go through the interview and see what they say. Perhaps you'll learn elements of the job that might interest you. If not, then you could always turn it down should you get an offer, or leave by saying that you don't feel it's right for you. Being honest is something they'll respect. But definitely go at this late stage.

You probably should have read up on the company before you even applied, but since you didn't and you have an appointment with them already, humor yourself and go. This is what you do and I have done it in several interviews. Once you get in there and you start interviewing cut the interview short thank them for taking the time to see you, but this is just not what I'm interested in doing. They may get pissed they may appreciate your honesty. I have done this before and so have my friends if a job isn't for you it's not for you.

Well, go on the interview and see for yourself. What you read could be fiction and not fact. If they offer you the job on the spot, don't committ yourself. Tell them you have some other offers that you are considering, and that you will give them your decision in 24 hrs. Don't close the door to any possibilities.

Call and cancel, that way another applicant that really want to work for that company will have the opportunity to interview, and you won't be wasting the managers time.

Go to the interview, if you get the job, take it, you could be looking for a different job in the meantime and you won't be missing the income.

Ever ask for bids from contractors?? The ones that come back the highest sometimes don't care if they get it, or not. But, if their outrageous bid is accepted...they would be foolish to refuse. Go in, let them know that you will need more salary, much more salary, if they say yes, and put it in writing...then take it. You can always look while employed.
