shareI also look at the parent's guide to see if there's any sex that'd be fun to watch. Apparently none. :(
on that note, though, I've found quite a few 4.5-rated movies (thereabouts) that I enjoyed solely for the popcorn. So I'm still gonna watch it!

Its actually not that bad. It is nothing new or groundbreaking, but it does well making a claustrophobic isolated environment. Plus it has good acting, etc
It doesn't really need to be filled with f-bombs and nudity because its about a father and his two kids. Anything more would be out of place. You really won't even notice and believe me I hate PG13 horror films.
All in all I gave it a 6/10, not worth buying, but renting it from netflix or catching it on cable on a Sunday will work. The ambiance and feeling of dread and isolation are what make it decent enough to watch it on a Sunday afternoon or when you're bored.

I agree. I only watched about 30 or 40 minutes of it and I'm really enjoying it. Can't wait to finish it. The girl is adorable and a great actress, the boy isn't too annoying like most child boy actors are (to me), and the dad has some really witty lines—he's trying so hard to be amusing for his kids. It works.
The cabin is cool (I wish they'd show more of it) and there's an obvious "Shining" feeling about being isolated due to snow.
The weird (pill-induced?) POV camera shots and some of the sounds and stuff are totally cheesy and not really scary and the jump scares get a bit silly—my favorite so far is a smash cut to a shot of the night time through the window... with a loud stinger spook jump-scare bang!! NIGHTTIME THROUGH THE WINDOW!!!! AARRRRRGH
But I like the characters a lot.

I agree with just about everything you wrote here. Rarely in these types of movies the kids are decent actors; dont do stupid things and get on your nerves.
The dad was a cool dad, trying to lift the kids spirits in times of trouble.
I take it all back, this movie was a screaming pile of *beep* lol.
No mother is that happy.

Don't go by IMDb ratings. A few of the reviews said it was average, but still rated it a 2. So, they thought the movie was average, but rated it FAR below average. The IMDb rating system is a joke. The movie is slightly below average, at worst.

I seen 6.8 rated movies that are much worse than this. I liked this movie enough for a 5.
