A Few good parts but the rest is really poor
The plot sounded really good, there were some good ideas here and there.
I enjoy some of the death Scene, ,as they were bit like Final Destination but not on the same level as those deaths.
The acting was a mixed bag , some scenes felt good and others felt forced.
Also some of the script was very bad in places, didn't help either.
Felt like half stuff was missing, seem a lot must of been cut.
The ending was very predicable, I knew from the start, that was going to happen.
The last scenes was hilarious bad! , it was meant to be shocking but it was shocking, as it was so badly done, even made me laugh out loud.

Worth watching
Despite what everyone on the internet said about this movie, I watched it, and I'm glad I did. It's interesting, the idea behind the plot is a really good one, it resembles the monkey's paw story.
It's a good movie, and if you are into the Final Destination saga you will sure like this; the death scenes are just as gory and awful as the ones you see in those movies. Plus, the main actress did a great job portraying her role. It's not the movie of the year, it gets cheesy during some scenes, but it's fine and worth a watch, maybe a re-watch even.
Did an enemy of the director pay people to rate this so low?
I'm extremely confused about the rating. This movie is decent enough to watch. Did too many non-horror fans vote? I found it well made. Did you not like the ending? Duh, shock endings are what's great about movies like this. Give it a watch. It is not a disappointment.
Mixed feelings, but still worth seeing
This movie has it's ups and it's downs. There were some really great suspense scenes, while others where painfully obvious. I feel like they should've spend just a little bit more time on it, to work out the kinks.
Overall I would still recommend you to see it and don't give up on it too soon. There is some really great stuff in there. It's been a while since a movie genuinely had me on the edge of my seat, which completely made up for the bad parts.

Uneven Horror
Overall not very good but watchable as it moves quickly through all the cliches you can expect in a very uneven manner. Decent backstory, some effective scenes including the end and the cast do their best. Let down often though by poor direction/script and story development. This really needed a lot more work to approach being a good film. However watchable as undemanding B movie horror.

Did you know
- TriviaThe film is loosely based on W.W. Jacobs' short story The Monkey's Paw (1948).
- GoofsWhen Clare goes to chase the intruder the second time, her father comes out with the beard that he had shaved off in the scene prior, though it seems at least 3 days have passed since Ryan's conversation with her in hallway and the next time we see him, the beard is back again at the tire change.
- Crazy creditsMid-way through the credits, Ryan goes to bury the box. When he takes it out of his backpack to put into the ground, he looks it over and says to himself "7 wishes?" possibly hinting at a potential sequel.
- Alternate versionsThe director's Unrated Version is one minute longer than the Theatrical Cut, it has more gore and it is only available on the American Blu-ray.
