A surprisingly decent thriller with excellent cinematography and a moody, creepy atmosphere. Sarah Michelle Gellar was also quite good here as well. I enjoyed it a lot.

7/10 ( B )

Wow. I liked this way, way more than I thought I would. They marketed it as another supernatural Grudge-type horror, if I remember correctly, but it's nothing like that. It was a decent thriller and it looked really pretty. Sarah Michelle Gellar probably gave the best performance she ever has.

I'd say a B-. It was pretty good.

No way. Sarah Michelle's best is in Cruel Intentions. But she wasn't bad here, and the movie wasn't bad either. It was certainly better than I was expecting. I'd give it a 7/10 (B-).

Tried twice to watch this but gave up after about 30 minutes. Clearly the director is unaware you have to build some sort of tension or plot before he can pull the old "there is something not quite right afoot" music. Poor Sarah Michelle looked like a ghost as well, somebody get that girl some Iron tablets quick.

D (from what I saw)
