Save your money for something good and enjoyable

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Like most of the reviews I too watched this based on the wrong movie information from satellite or the movie channel. I however did enjoy the movie. It was a scary psychological thriller movie. From the beginning they had you bond with the character by starting as a documentary about the main character's phobia. I watched it alone in the dark and it had me on edge of my seat through much of it. With close up shots, the dark lighting and scary music I thought it was much scarier than slasher flicks or very far fetched stories. The main character had a tough time with reality which made it scarier. It's plot was all over the place and confusing at times. I think much more could have been done with the plot but it was still entertaining to me.

I have no idea what just happened in this movie, who most of the characters were, and I have a raging headache. This movie left me cold, disappointed, very confused, and wishing I could have my 2 hours back. The characters are not really developed aside from the main character, Lee. The other characters aren't essential to the plot, are mostly absent from the story, and their interactions with Lee don't make any sense and do not drive the story along, so you don't care about them. It's nearly impossible to feel connected or even interested in the other characters. I've been sitting here for about 15 minutes trying to figure out what the plot was supposed to be and why the director failed to notice that the final cut of this film is a nonsensical mess. I'm terribly confused and angry, because I thought I would be watching the more recent film by the same name and my cable company failed to notice the difference.Seriously, do not waste your time on this piece of garbage.

I had high hopes to see a decent independent film with Ms. Moreau as an interesting female lead who is recovering from her unique phobia of big spaces. First part was fine, showing her issue through the lens of a documentary, and how she has overcome her fear and is living in a nice cabin house in the mountains with her new husband.If they had focused the movie on her phobia (which she played effectively) and the scary old woman that triggered it (and somehow killed her childhood friend? This does not get explained) I would have probably enjoyed the film. But no, they had to throw a bunch of stuff at you that didn't make sense. Some demons/spirits are tangible, others disappear? The house was the scene of 'dead bodies' but we don't know how/why they died? There's going to be a baby sacrifice? And her husband's in on it? And maybe at the end she is possessed? Don't look for explanations because they give none.Technically speaking, Marguerite Moreau is a pretty good actress although for most of the movie she just runs around scared and crying and hiding. The male lead was, so-so. The young female was kind of bad although in her defense the writers mostly made her act like a teen brat who waves a gun around and demands her baby back. The special effects were laughably bad and not sure why they even included them. Music was so-so. The lighting was irritating because many scenes were so dark that rather than scare me they just confused me.To sum up, the writers did a nice job introducing the set-up but then proceeded to destroy everything by never tying up loose ends and leaving you remembering only the bad effects and confusing plot. Don't watch this film. It's pretty bad.

I watched this movie on one of those days when you're ready to just sit back, relax and hopefully get treated to something really great that you just can't wait to tell somebody about. Well...it sucked, and now I feel obligated to sit in the reviewers corner with the other disenchanted viewers who kept waiting for something, anything, to happen in this film.We generally give every film a fighting chance at least for the first 20 minutes right? Even if it's creeping along as the characters are developed and the plot is revealed,I can usually be fairly patient, but instead I found myself clock watching till it was almost over.One of my biggest pet peeve's is the overuse of extreme darkness in a film, it's impossible to watch especially if you're watching a movie during the day, and there's ambient daylight falling on your TV. The only revealing thing about this situation is it shows you how many fingerprints are on your TV screen. With a four year old in the house, that means many.As far as the characters I'm a little biased since I'm a huge Colin Hay fan, I wanted him to be good in this, but the script didn't allow it. Mr. Hay in my opinion is by far one of the most talented musicians out there however this script bound him to a mediocre at best character.I thought the main character Lee was believable and as neutral in personality as Nick's, but perhaps it was the two like personalities,the overuse of darkness, and the "baby thing" thrown in at the last minute that left me with a feeling akin to buying that gotta have it gizmo thing from a late night info-mercial only to be sadly disappointed when you finally open the box.All in all I think some good talent got sent straight to video on a slow train to nowhere.
