Let me know if and when you guys are going, I might join ya' for a second showing.

The film was decent for a cheap production. They keep it scary by maintaining a technique used in some earlier horror films, not showing the Monster's face. You don't know what you're dealing with exactly and you don't know what to expect next.

The thing that scared me the most was that similar instances occurred in our house the first few years we were here. Just brought back some memories of when that happened and how frightening it was when it took place. You don't know how to react to it because you're not accustomed to it. You don't know what to expect from it and you you're uncertain as to what it is or wants exactly.

Obviously, a fake story but neat film overall.

Fandango says it's not in Lexington Park, Calvert, or St. Charles.

Showing at Apex Calvert Village in Prince Frederick Apex Calvert Village 5 - Prince Frederick, MD 20678 - Zvents

Son saw it this afternoon with friends (Ghosthunters fan) -- his report:

"The movie wasn't even scary. It's actually pretty stupid after I watched it."

Of course, he is only 13 and I warned him that if he was too afraid to sleep, it was on him! He's spending the night with his friend so it'll be interesting to see how much sleep he gets tonight!

We just got home from watching this movie. STUPID STUPID STUPID! What a waste of money and time. Worst part is we went for the 8:00 showing.. power went out about 7:30 a transformer had blown. So at 8:30 they decided to cancel the 8 show. Didn't know if it would be back up before the 10:00 show.. I heard such good things about it we decided to wait it out... wish we hadn't now. Scary? Not at all

To each his own.

A lot of people don't like the home-made movie touch. I think it adds more originality and realism.

Interesting.... CBS news just had a segment on it. Budget of $15,000, 4 unknown actors. Originally posted on the Internet, and it wasn't until mainstream critics reviewed it that it took off. It's being shown in limited areas and limited seating, which drives public interest up even more (check out the South Park episode where Cartman buys an amusement park....). CBS showed in-theater audience reactions during the showing. Those people were jumping...

What a comeplete waste of time and money. Bad story, bad acting, and not scary at all. We went to hoffman to watch it and there was more laughter than screams. If you have not watched it, dont waste your money.

I'd recommend it too.

On the bad side - it made me sick for a few hours from the motion.

On the good side - at one point I found myself with tears welling up in my eyes it scared me so bad.

It was like all my little girl fears put into a movie, lol
