Deserves a Better Score


I'm a huge horror fan, and as a result am fairly desensitized to a lot of what passes as "scary" now-a-days. Having said that, I found this film genuinely unsettling. It wasn't a masterpiece by any means, but I definitely felt invested in the story-line, and the grainy , murder-footage scenes definitely left me feeling a bit disturbed. The ending was morbid blast as well. I was so glad it went the dark route, rather than settle for a "everything's all better now, despite all the horrors we've just witnessed" endings that I've been seeing a lot of lately.

I feel like this movie deserves at least a 7 on here. I haven't been spooked hard by a horror movie in a while, and this film, while certainly containing a few silly moments (Ethan Hawke refusing to use light-switches), definitely had me on the edge of my seat on multiple occasions.

Obviously that's just my opinion. What did you guys think?

Completely agree. Great story that held my attention. Can't believe some didn't find this scary. It completely creeped me out.

I can watch this over and over and still get chills. Love it.

Best horror film of the decade in my opinion. I rate it a 9/10
