Meh, it doesn't look so interesting to me. I'll pass.

A bit of the hotness known as Elisha Cuthbert, a little bit of Heavenly Creatures, a little bit of psychological suspense -- this looks like the best release this admittedly dreadful weekend.

The trailer made it look pretty creepy, any thoughts on that Tyler? I just want to know if I should wait for DVD or not,,,

Camilla Belle and Elisha Cuthbert are fine, but the rest of the acting I didn't care for. Lets just say this movie pissed away a lot of potential. I think DVD is the way to go, unless you are dying to see it.

A 6? Are you kidding? This gets a 1, if not a 0. I can honestly say that this is THE worst movie I have ever seen in my life.

I could tell right off the bat that this was Elisha Cuthbert hoping she was making a serious movie that'd get her some awards, but I was really laughing my ass off the entire time at how incredibly ridiculous and stupid this movie was. Iceman (Shawn Ashmore will forever be known to me as Iceman until he does something better) was atrocious, perhaps the worst performance I've ever seen. I was crying with laughter at some of the lines he delivered with a serious face and a serious intent. The plot was stupid and made no sense, and this is definately one of those movies that is supposed to be like a "whoaaaa" ending but it fell completely flat.

The biggest flaw with this was how serious it was played. Jesus christ, man.
I would give specific examples to everything I'm talking about, but I don't want to give anything away.
