    Expection

    I don't have much to say except this- once all those Hollywood movies that rely on a CGI creature/monster, tons of blood, gore, and fake, sudden scares are long forgotten, this one will definitely stand out. This is a dramatic, moving, and nonetheless truly frightening psychological thriller. I enjoyed this teaser better than any other (the reason being- its beautiful score and stunning performances from Richmond Arquette and Darcy Fowers) This is not your traditional horror movie, this is what movies is all about. P.S You'll enjoy it more if you watch it on a DVD system, in the dark, by yourself, on the biggest TV set you can find =]

    Real story?!

    The best story which is based on real events. well I didn't know what to expect from this movie to start with,but as the movie progressed slowly but surely it got me involved in it like a good thriller should the acting is fine cant remember any particular exceptional performance, but the story and direction were very powerful.

    there were huge amount of twists not that much violence but i think it would leave you thinking for the rest of the night as to are people actually ungrateful to live!!!!!! gr8 movie and I would advise it to every thriller movie fan..... Based on the teaser(which was very long) so the movie will be better

    Scary

    My husband took me to see the teaser and when he said it was a horror I was expecting to sit through another of his kind of horror films i.e.stupid teenagers with lots of gratuitous blood, guts and violence thrown in. I was fortunately very mistaken!I am glad I saw this first as it is good not to have anything to compare it to. Taken by itself, I think it is a fantastic film. It's not everyone's cup of tea and the usual horror fans may think it slow, incomprehensible or just plain unscary. However, I loved the mystery and weirdness of it. One thing that I think really robs horror films of their ultimate "horror" value is when you come to the explanation/discovery of what's behind it all at the end. I thought the film had let itself down with a typical, rationalised ending. I was very pleasantly surprised with the horrifying twist that developed and I loved the eerie "non-ending" ending - it left me really freaked out and actually believing that the whole thing might be real after all. It is wonderful, psychologically terrifying stuff and I defy anyone to watch it and forget it - I am still thinking about it and giving myself the shivers months later! I won't give any film 10/10, as this is the ultimate and I am always challenging for there to be an even better film out there I give it a superior "must see" 9/10.

    totally under-rated.

    why is it that the actually exceptional movies get low "scores" here, whilst the generic cliché-ridden ludicrously ineptly plotted "no-brain required" idiot-catering pap gets rated high??? i'm seriously considering basing my viewing choices on how LOW a movie is rated here or rotten tomatoes etc. This movie for example blew me away with it's plot style & integrity, as well as its camera angles, as if they'd taken the best of every recent TV & movie "style" then created their own disturbing (in the "good way" ie, applicable to the genre) take on their usage thereof. The acting was well above average, sublime even in parts, believable even in its occasional lower points (few & far between). The soundtrack fitted perfectly their twist on the "college kids in horror movie" scenario, all in all a refreshing & thought inspiring diversion from the run of the Hollywood grist mill that, again, for some reason i cannot fathom, gets generally much higher ratings than gems such as this. i wonder if IMDb would consider adding a "lowest rating movies" section or search engine parameter, it would save me heaps of time in finding worthwhile movies to actually Enjoy.

    Lifechanging horror

    I guarantee for those of you who know good horror this movie will leave your chin touching the ground at all times until the credits roll, this movie will change your life. I'am a big movie fan of all kinds and never ever had a favorite movie until I watched this film's trailer, this movie will make you think hard. But keep in mind that to understand this movie greatly you have to watch it more than once. This movie was made on a very low-budget and it will be one of the best horror movies of all time. The writes and producers of this movie definitely prove to you that a great horror movie can be made without millions and millions of dollars and still be very great.
