    Ok...

    Mark is so sexy in this movie, but also kind of creepy. It was suspenseful at times, and overall an ok movie. I just think everyone should be able to witness the hottness that is Marky in this flick, so it is a must see.

    William Peterson played an excellent role and Reese Witherspoon did well also. It wasn't as scary as it could have been.. I hated it when they killed their dog :( Overall, you can pass on it unless you are a die-hard Mark or Reese fan
