The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I enjoyed this movie but I had it figured out very quickly. I am surprised that no one has pointed out that it is a reworked Sixth Sense. Good Acting, great cast.

This is an amazing film! The special effects and acting are really good. At last but not less the end of the film is unexpected. I really recommend it! I really can't understand why it had so bad results in box office and lower rating by critics and consumers. I only can say to you: "Buy the popcorn and PLAY IT NOW!"

Painful...Another reviewer here used that word and I truly, TRULY feel that it fits most accurately. I usually scan through the reviews quickly before writing one and USUALLY I roll my eyes and get quite irritated at all the horrible reviews and comments about 'Worst movie', etc., etc... However, in THIS case I honestly had to agree when I saw the detailed comments about how some people here really did not like this film. The reviewer I mentioned, Moristang, stated some good points about the completely unbelievable acting, especially Anne Hathaway's, which is odd since she normally can be quite good. I FULLY agree with his comments about how her awkward, superficially phony nervousness and mannerisms were EXTREMELY annoying and totally unbelievable.It is not often that a film evokes such a strong negative reaction from me, since by now it seems that MOST people at least know how to put them together with some degree of competency. Sure, there are MANY movies that may leave me unmoved, or I find that they don't do much for me, or it turns out not to be a type that I normally would like. But, THIS time, I can honestly relate to Moristang's use of the word 'Painful', and even more so as the movie progressed. I mean, the premise certainly sounded interesting and mysterious; I'm SURE that the overall idea was good. But, GEEZ, the acting was SO dang awful, literally GRATING on the nerves the more the film progressed. Almost ALL of the interactions between characters, to me anyway, appeared to be forced, awkward, and TOTALLY unbelievable in ANY context. Sure, I understand that Anne's character had not interacted with actual patients before, but still, her amateurish manner was just about more than I could literally bear. Really...And, just to take one instance; the interaction between her and the supposedly 'Euphoric' guy was just about THE frigg'n worst I've ever seen, and I own and have seen a LOT of movies, let me tell you. All that smug, phony smiling and her little feigned, quiet, whispery little voice were almost enough to send me screaming through the house! Bloody AWFUL! Finally, there is the scene where she is going to meet him and there is this sudden gust of wind that blows a paper into her face and scares her causing here to give off a little scream. She looks up and the guy is right in front of her looking at her through a gate, very calmly and condescendingly, with this little DOUCHEY smirk on his face. Something that absolutely NO ONE would buy as any where NEAR a believable or realistic reaction in ANY way, shape, or form. That did it for me right there. I had to say to myself that that was quite honestly some of the worst acting (or perhaps direction) that I have seen in a very long time.So, all I can say is that I don't know if anyone else would be as sensitive as I am and react as violently negative as I did, but all I got out of it was cringing and pain. Pure and simple... Now, maybe others might not be bothered by these kinds of things and may be able simply to sit back and watch the story unfold and enjoy it. But, not me, let me tell you. When I say that I haven't seen anything so EXCRUCIATING and so poorly done in a long time, I truly mean it. With all my heart and soul...Like I said, maybe the idea for the story was pretty good; I was genuinely intrigued by the premise and there appear to be people in the movie that normally seem to be good actors, but for me personally, I could feel the nerve endings in my body singing shrilly in the utmost pain as I tried to watch this film.I RARELY ever take the time to write negative reviews; if you check mine, you will see that probably over 95% of the time I am writing at least somewhat of a positive review, usually to try to point out the good things in films where many others have P|$$ed all over them. I usually am EXTREMELY scornful of these jaded @ssholes claiming to be such authorities on film, and usually enjoy pointing that out. BUT... THIS time, I must sadly admit that the many detailed negative comments by others about this film appear to be quite true...

No big action scenes. Not a lot of camera movement. One of the most thought-provoking films I've seen in quite a while, and I'm glad that I stumbled across it on Netflix. I agree with one of the reviews I read earlier that you really need to see this film twice. I watched it a few days ago and it is still lingering in my mind -- words, scenes, facial expressions, lighting. Ignore the half-baked reviews if you like an intelligent film and give it a try. Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson are both solid on the screen but so are all of the supporting actors. The fact that is was shot in Vancouver with half the scenes during the (grey) day and at night enhances the darker tone of the storyline.
