    FANTASTIC!!

    by movie_fanatic10

    This movie was absolutely great! i loved it! It had me at the edge of my seat. The girl who portrayed Ester did an amazing performance along with the other cast! The twist was crazy as hell.

    To all the people on here who gave it a bad rating SHUT THE F**K UP!!!! Seriously, all the comments I read on how its an insult towards orphans. Really get over yourself. The movie was just for pure entertainment not to insult you! All you guys are complete whine baby's. The trailer obvioulsy showed what the movie was about so why in the hell did you watch it in the first place? Get a f**ken clue!! And do us all a favor and stop leaving bad comments!!

    Heart Racing, Thrilling, Surprising!!!

    by WiiFreedom

    Usually, I see horror films that are good, but not this one, Its amazing! The scenes with Esther on this movie made me feel that she is a showoff of something, like the revolver. She takes all but one bullet out of it and points the gun at Max: "Wanna play a game?" This movie is twisted, but its a must see! Nearly at the end will surprise you...I won't tell what it is... GO WATCH!!!
