    A cool movie. I really like the trailer. Less exciting is the actual movie, which is decent enough, with a tree spirit posing as a nanny to capture babies. There are great creature attacks in the forest. Mild horror.

    freaky and fun. It gives druids (or dryads) a bad name.

    A well-made thriller handled with style by Friedkin.

    Creepy.

    Wow! I cant believe the man who brought us American classics like The Exorcist, The French Connection, Sorcerer, Cruising, To Live And Die In L.A. and most recently the highly underrated Bug would have anything to do with this piece of shit. This was awful. Period. The acting wa...( read more)s laughable. The 'baby camera' shots were totaly uninspired and dumb and the film has no substance what so ever.
    Beware!!

    A waste of 92 minutes.

    Umm, I guess I'll just be a hands-on mom, or, ask a kin to babysit my child. You don't really know the people out there... if they are really people.

    Pardon me for being such an uneloquent naysayer, but I found this cheap and boring.
