A conventional and cliche but effective atmosphere discarded in a simple story that has a ridiculous plot twist and to tell the truth it never convinces you and what sells as suspense and horror ends up being frankly a lie because the filmA conventional and cliche but effective atmosphere discarded in a simple story that has a ridiculous plot twist and to tell the truth it never convinces you and what sells as suspense and horror ends up being frankly a lie because the film never reaches a good level to make you want to stay until the end.

Of all the cast Uma Thurman is the best and no doubt you wonder what she's doing there, while AnnaSophia Robb disappoints.… Expand

The premise of this movie is interesting, but they failed to execute it in a meaningful way.

I wouldn’t call it a simple horror film and it does build to somewhere, yet I feel like the characters and the story were never connected so not a lot gets fleshed out.

Not a great movie. Somewhat different, just not entertaining.… Expand

There was just nothing special about it. I also have some complaints about the sound and lighting: too much dark lighting made the picture hard to see and the sound was SO unbalanced that it was actually aggrivating to watch - one minute it's whisper quiet, so I turn up the volume. Next, it's blasting loud - wakes up everyone in the house, the dog starts barking, the windows start rattling, chandeliers are swinging from the ceiling, plaster is falling and I'm clutching my heart!… Expand
