    Great movie...

    by somethingclever

    Note. It's not a horror movie. At all. It's a very good psychological thriller that keeps the audience in suspense for the duration of the film. The young girl does a GREAT job acting in this movie. I'm sure there will be more to see from her in the future.

    This movie is definitely rated appropriately, I'll leave it at that.

    People that like to be surprised and held in suspense should definitely see it. Those that would prefer a simple plot with a predictable ending should steer away.

    Wow. How messed up is this movie. You THOUGHT Ellen Page was nice didn't you?! "Juno" is quite misleading.....

    Wonderful

    by ShayneTheMovieGuy

    Yes I saw this with my friend, but fell asleep. It was ok then, but at the time I really didn;t pay much attention. But after reading more about it I truly relized how great it was. So I bought, and really liked it. It had my holding my balls for 10 minutes. My only real critisim is that it sort of drags on a bit, but it still is great. But you might not like it if you want a simple "girl is kid napped" movie, because this movie lets you decide who the real monster is at the end.
