    A much enjoyed film, best watched, as I did in bed with the lights out. Very rarely do I feel scared watching horrors etc and yet, I have to admit, I had to look over my shoulder at one point during this film. I?m not saying it?s extremely scary, but there is a good build up of...( read more) tense moments, in the right setting.

    The acting wasn?t particularly fantastic and the ending was a tad disappointing, but there?s something about this film that I really liked.

    My biggest complaint would be how stereotypical the Englishman was made. I?ve lived in England all my life and encountered all kinds of people, but I?ve never quite met anyone like this guy, ha ha.

    From what I remember, this started good but ended horribly.

    Very disturbing and hard to watch. It is very grainy and gritty. Not at all the kind of movie I like to watch Rachael Leigh Cook in. Very sick ending.

    It was kind of lame, i couldn't take it seriously. I'd say it got pretty interesting during the last thirty minutes. Then you felt totally cheated by the ending.. I wouldn't have stuck with it if Kip Pardue wasn't in the movie.

    Pretty good. The way they filmed it was cool but as the movie progressed it was predictable. Cary Elwes cheesy character was awesome. Started well but fizzled in the end.
