I was looking up shit about it last night after seeing a TV spot the night before. Looks genuinely creepy. If it doesn't get a wide release I guess there's always torrents, haha.

I highly doubt it will be as scary as they promise, but definitely creepy. I'd like to see it.

I will say this about the movie...
The teaser for it is incredibly misleading.

It's just an audience jumping at things.
"Jump" or startle moments are some of the most easy reactions to generate in the horror/suspense genre.
A long suspenseful silence interrupted by a loud noise will cause that kind of reaction in any crowd.

I guess I'm going to need to see the film before I can assess whether it's scary or not.
Just remember; a cleverly executed add campaign can make any shitty movie look awesome.

Films that evoke a sense of dread and despair are always better than films that make you jump. Give me Cheaper By The Dozen 2 any day over Saw 3.

I totally agree.

Like in Hellraiser 2, when Dr. Gennard is in Hell and he's standing there looking at Leviathan and the only words he can muster are, "Oh my god!" To which his female counterpart simply replys, "No.... My god."

That scene always puts chills up my spine.

So I took my lady to see this on Sunday. I gotta say: I enjoyed it. The film did a good job of creating really tense moments (while still using some cheesy jump-scare techniques). It ran on a little in some parts. I think the film makers were trying to convey the growing tension, fatigue and frustration suffered by the characters, but it wasn't conveyed very well.

It definitely had some spine-chilling moments. I'd recomend checking it out if you've got 7.50 to spend and 2 hours to kill.

7.5/10

Sorry if this makes no sense. I've been drinking heavily for an hour. (puts up flame shield from radu)

Saw it the other night and really enjoyed it. At first I was 'meh' but the build-up to the last 20 minutes made it that much better. Not really SCARY but made it a bit difficult to sleep that night.

Yeah, i saw it. Wasn't as nearly scary as it seemed made out to be. The last half hour was good but for an hour i was just laughing, it wasnt scary at all. it was just doors opening and closing.

Worst "horror" movie since White Noise. Not the least bit scary and boring-as-fuck from beginning to end. The girl had awesome tits tho.

Just saw it for the second time today! I thoroughly enjoyed it both times. It is a little slow in the beginning, but I find the simplicity of the whole thing to be genuinely creepy. It certainly will have you jumping at every little noise you hear in the night after seeing it. For all the people who didn't enjoy it, I suggest seeing it with easy-to-scare friends. Their reactions to the movie will almost be better than the movie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

So I went to it this afternoon, only one part of it had my heart beating super fast, the rest was just not 'scary' to me at all.

the movie itself though was amazing. i liked the way the tension built realistically, and considering that the film was very low-budget, i'm curious how some of the 'effects' were accomplished.

definitely a good movie, and i can see how it would scare the crap out of most people.

8/10
