According to the previous reviewer - I must be a genius because I DID figure out the twists in the plot....... Having written that, I still enjoyed the movie very much. Even though there have been other stories similar to this one, as the previous reviewer wrote, I didn't feel as though I had seen it before as I have in other movies. I like anything with John Cusack and he did not let me down in this movie. Dallas Roberts turned in a believable and very creepy performance and I couldn't get over how much he looks like John Ritter - or maybe it is just me but I think he looks more like John Ritter than Jason Ritter. Mae Whitman was also very good and although she is in her 20s, she was believable as a 17 year old. I enjoyed the movie and have and will continue to recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book and so I may have set my expectations for the movie a little too high - I was a bit disappointed. Although the movie followed the book closely, I thought that Heather Locklear was too old for the character of Reese. She also did not fit the book's description of Reese. I also believed that the actress that played Joanie was not a good fit and she was not as important a character in the movie as she was in the book. Jonathan Schaech, however, was a wonderful choice for Brody as was the actor that played the doctor. I still enjoyed the movie. I should have known better than to expect the movie to be as good as the book.
