    Excellent supernatural thriller. Great plot, about a wife who sees supernatural things and believes her neighbour has been murdered.
  • September 14, 2008
    This movie was pretty creepy, but really slow moving. Lots of twists throughout.

    This could have been a better put together movie but it was not half bad. I love the freaky ones.

    A very good film that is worth watching and a good horror but this film can be better in parts.

    The acting started off good and ended good there were a few parts when the acting could of been more powerful and the acting could of also been speeded up in parts because it was as...( read more) if the acting had stopped in parts.

    Warning this contains spoilers

    The plot was good when that woman couldn't breathe and that claire could hear noises in the house but the plot did get a bit slow in parts so perhaps things could of happened a bit faster and they could of had a better twist.

    Also because this film was a horror this film could of been a bit scarier.

    But overall this film was good and should not be missed.

Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Lacking a smarter screenplay, it milks the genuine skills of its actors and director for more than it deserves, and then runs off the rails in an ending more laughable than scary. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Pushes every obvious button and then fumbles around for some of the more recessed ones. full review
