I mean, it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but not very good either. The best part of it was probably the camera work.

Too predictable. I was so shocked people screamed at 'scary' parts, when my date and I knew it was coming. And they used a bit of another movie at the end, but I won't give any spoilers (not an actual scene, but a concept).

Oh well. Next movie!

Stout, I think you're being too generous to this movie. Absolutely horrible waste of time and money. Many people were employed because of this film - that's about the only good thing I can say about it.

Shame, too, because the director Mathieu Kassovitz (sp) has put out some excellent films in his native France. Welcome to Hollywood, bub.

Well Im on the opposite side of the coin. I liked this movie. Thought it was entertaining. Certainly not the best piece of cinema but well worth the price of admission.

Ditto - and I've seen it twice already (mom wanted me to take her to see it) - otherwise I would have just watched it once in the theater.

I thought it was worth the $8.

Saw this last night. Didn't much care for it. Seemed like a cheap rip off of The Ring.Wasn't horrible, but wasn't very good either.

Far too predictable and boring...in retrospect, I wouldn't have paid a dime to see it if I knew how it would be...but I didn't, so I paid
