This was the worst movie I have ever seen. Save your money--this movie is not even worth renting. It should be called Brown Eye. It turned out to be a comedy because the scary parts were so predictable and cliche it was comical. I have This was the worst movie I have ever seen.

I came out feeling like I had seen an up-scale TV movie. It was fine for what it was but not particularly suspenseful.

It was fine for what it was but not particularly suspenseful. I call it a compromise movie, see it when a group is determined to see a movie and have to find something they all can tolerate. I may have felt a little more negative on this, in that, although the acting was fine, the villan looked more petulant than anything else (although that does not preclude being threatening) which I found distracting.

The dialogue and pathetic character development are both shockingly bad. The acting of the two leads reaches B level for brief moments, but it doesn't matter because the plot and dialogue are so distracting that all I could think about The dialogue and pathetic character development are both shockingly bad. The acting of the two leads reaches B level for brief moments, but it doesn't matter because the plot and dialogue are so distracting that all I could think about was how the heck the movie received such a high (71) metascore. The only reviews to accurately describe the movie are the last three (Boston Globe, LA Weekly and Portland Oregonian). Seriously, trust only those three for this movie. Expand

Awful movie. Just awful. Terrible plot, annoying actors, predictable, poor characterization, just atrocious. The beginning was littered with bad clichés and tired dialogue. The middle was farfetched and the end was unexplained and Awful movie. Just awful. Terrible plot, annoying actors, predictable, poor characterization, just atrocious. The beginning was littered with bad clichés and tired dialogue. The middle was farfetched and the end was unexplained and bared little resemblance to anything that happened previous. Case in point, the story evolves from airport bar, to airplane, and finally to a knife-chase scene at a suburban house. Lastly there was too many loose ends and the film rapped up ineffectively. This is best illustrated with one of the final lines, "And after you finish [the comment card] you can go ahead and just shove it up your ass". Note, this line had nothing to do with the film and was spoken unexpectedly. There was no running gag, there wasn't some hilarious set-up, that was the line in it's entirety. I can't go any further in explaining how hideous watching this movie was. Shame on those critics who believed this film had any redeeming qualities. I can confidently say that this was the worst film I've ever seen. Expand

Not a bad movie for the first 45 minutes or so, but the movie takes an inexplicable left turn from a believability standpoint after the plane lands that ruined the whole thing for me. I could have dealt with the cliches of "No Service" or Not a bad movie for the first 45 minutes or so, but the movie takes an inexplicable left turn from a believability standpoint after the plane lands that ruined the whole thing for me. I could have dealt with the cliches of "No Service" or dead batteries in the cell phone, but you need to at least provide SOME explanation why someone being stalked would avoid security and police like the plague. Just didn't make any sense. Expand

Terrible movie. The main actor is Jack Rippner, Jack the Ripper, get it HA HA! That is almost the only good part of this movie. The only other good part is that this movie has Brian Cox in it.

Other than that, this is a movie that you should avoid. Expand

Boy did they advertize well for this one though, I thought I was going to enjoy it, or get thrilled by it. At the end i kept waiting... WHERE'S THE TWIST. There is no twist folks, this one kind of stinks. Expand

Boring, predictable and a general waste of time. Who gets stabbed in the neck and doesn't bleed. Please...

Worst movie since Hitchhiker's Guide. I can't beleive anybody that gets paid to be a critic would rate this movie a 70+. The best part was the cameo from Colby on Survivor.

Stays on plot and moves right along. Otherwise it's pretty much disposable.

Worst movie of the year. The acting is so terrible that I found myself laughing through the entire movie instead of jumping at the so-called surprise or scary moments.

What a rattle-trap piece of trash - styled after Lifetime Television for Women and silly and implausible for the entire ride. Whoever called this "Hitchcockian" needs another helping of "North By Northwest."

I kept wishing the plane would crash and put us all out of our misery. Mrs OH does not believe it got a 71. Perhaps it was really 17. Give it a miss

That it scored a 71 overall with the critics is baffling. Although this site is usually offbase with its scoring of films, the score on this film is criminally overrated. Terrible film, just terrible. I cannot stress this enough. Terrible. Expand
