    Features more stingers than all of the Halloween movies combined. Its a silly mish-mash of horror cliches but there's enough energy and blood to keep the film from sinking into full-suck territory.

    Ok this was looking really good and I was totally looking forward to it, but as always it was too good to be true. Started out very promising and about halfway through it jumped the shark. So sad. The plot was ok till then, then it got stupid. The blood and gore was medium but ac...( read more)tually well done, if it wasn't for the stupid mid story "surprise". Other than that, the cast was ok, nothing spectacular. This was ok once around...

    This wasn't totally horrible like I was expecting. The acting actually wasn't bad, but the plot twist was too much to accept. It got pretty stupid at the end. However, the effects were actually quite decent.

    Should be Horror/Comedy more so than Horror/Thriller. This isn't a scary movie. It's disturbing, sure, but not scary.

    When I saw the trailer I was expecting similar movie to¨When a Stranger Calls¨ BUT it is so much more. Instead, I got a genuinely well-crafted movie which put old ideas together in a way that made them seem fresh and interesting.
    The twist were good, the acting decent and there ...( read more)are some good gory moments. The productions values are great for a low budget movie, although there are a few lighting issues in the second half.
    Overall, was well worth the watch.

    Not a bad movie. It was better than I expected. It kept me interested and had a couple of surprises.

    Um.... What?! This movie is trying to be The Omen meets Rosemary's Baby, but in the view of the parents & babysitter. It is sheer crap. As a Trekkie I was more happy seeing a Star Trek alumni than I was the rest of this movie... And Nana Visitor was in it for a few seconds at a t...( read more)ime!! Good ideas that are badly executed really piss me off. The way in which it leads up to and after the Vicar's death is trying to be clever, but the way the rest of the movie is treated makes it all the more ridiculous. Shite.

    A god fearing girl (Angie ? Sarah Thompson) leaves her god fearing mum for the first time to attend college in a rubber-necky US state. Aware that she?s being watched, if not actually stalked and unsettled in the knowledge that there?s a missing girl student, looking not unlike h...( read more)erself? she reports her fears to the local creepy sheriff, and the tension cranks up nicely. Gets pally with nice college boy (Matt Dallas)..

    As much to get out of druggy flat share as to make a bit of pocket money, she takes a babysitting job miles past the backside of nowhere? ( why do they always do that ?! ) The kids subtley weird and the growingly discordant soundtrack, jumpy, screechy, scratchy, gets neatly under your skin?. When it all kicks off, you don?t see what?s coming ?. Coming??? bit of a spatter-fest starter kit for the ?Hostel? lovers.. but fab an scary in a satisfying..ish ?squeal-like-a-pig? outback schtick.

    The most pointless and the most disgusting film I've recently seen. Don't waste your time with this crap unless you really really hate yourself. The people who made this need mental healing..

    When I first saw the preview for this movie, I was expecting a traditional the babysitters all alone so there will be a scary man sneaking in the house and tormenting her all night. Well what I was expecting and what I got was completely different. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be. It was extremely scary and very unexpected. Although I was very upset about the disturbing gore. I felt nausious right away. So if you have a weak stomach I don't sugest watching this movie. I enjoyed the storyline twist and how it ended. I am expecting a sequel, because that's just how it ended. I give this movie 7 out of 10 :).
