Not deserving of the bad reviews


the one with Sarah Michelle Gellar
The commercials made it look like horror, but it is a mystery/drama film. After seeing it's bad reviews, I was not expecting much, but it is a very good thriller. It is slow, yes, but the final revelation is worth it. It also has very beautiful cinematography. I found it a lot better than The Grudge
7.5/10

from bloodydisgusting.com:
"Tex Massacre's List
Trends That Need To End: Casting ex-Buffy: The Vampire Slayer stars in bad horror films (The Thirst, Voodoo Moon, Unholy, Shadow Puppets and The Return)"

So I personally think that the actors in buffy are good, and maybe this guy should stop blaming the cast! Okay, now I am done, posted this on every movie comments board that he insulted.

10/10 It's the definition of a perfect film. If everyone looked at it from my perspective, everyone would've seen a masterpiece.

Wow. THIS steaming pile is your definition of a perfect film? The only way I could see having this opinion is if the only other movies you've ever seen are the "*fill in the blank* Movie" movies, like "Epic Movie" for example.

I also agree. This is a movie that keeps haunting me, I can't 4get it. I love this movie!!! It is an expertly crafted story!! I really wish that Adam Sussman would write more scripts!!

I agree. I don't get the low rating at all. 4.8? Come on. I thought it was good. Not a masterpiece, but not every movie has to be. It was good enough. I found it absorbing, it held my attention, it kept my interest. What was so bad about it?

wish I could see it

I just watched this and agree as well. The 4.8 is completely undeserved.
I thought the juxtaposition, overlapping of Joanna and Bella in the recreation of the crime was well done.
Good, entertaining film.
