Almost a good story but misses the reality mark.

While there are way too many things wrong with the film for it to be any good, the idea behind the project is somewhat clever. The execution of those ideas is implausible, but they went for it anyway.

I could have nearly enjoyed the film if not for the kid crying "Mommy" about a thousand times. No, make that two thousand. It had to be. It was so many times I came to this page simply to look to see if it was in the trivia section. I figured someone had to count them.

At least it wasn't first person, shaky cam crap. That is so played out, it's not even laughable.

A very different and unique thriller. I didn't realised how time passed. Believable and natural acting. The plot unfolded very nicely as the story progressed. The settings and atmospheres were designed quite beautifully. Still can't believe the main actors are a real family that added so much to the realism of the film. Thank you.

It was a great movie concept but my god the kid yelling "mommy" constantly blew it for me. It seemed like every second. It really got under my skin and took me out the movie.

she said mommy 147 times (downloaded the SRT file to find this out :p )

but that probably misses a few, as I'm sure they left some of them out.
it's bad enough to hear it 1000 times, if you have to read it too 0_0
