    several solid scares

    I saw this movie with my cousin on a rainy monday afternoon, and maybe the glum weather helped set me up; but while I was expecting more of a "wow that is some wierd crazy stuff" type of movie, my cousin and I both found ourselves frightened as jumpy thrills litter the theatre (we were the only ones there). Hilary Swank does a great job, and even though you may think you have ideas as to where the plot is leading, the ending is a wacky twist that made the whole movie that much more worthwhile.

    Great plot twists

    by rljules

    This movie has an good way of twisting one way and then another. It shifts so quickly that at times it's hard to keep up with it. I had a little difficulty keeping with the story due to the continual shifts. Although the ending is especially twisted, it does an excellent job of bringing everything together and leaving an opening for a sequel. Don't know if they'll make one, but there s definitely potential. This movie actually falls more into the horror/suspense genre than I originally thought. Regardless it is a good movie to see and I advise you don't bring any youngsters or those that are weak of heart.
