    Boring!!!!

    WARNING:DO NOT WATCH IF YOUR AFTER SCARES OR A GOOD HORROR FILM!!!

    The most tedious,boring film i have ever seen in my life! Literally so boring i couldn't stop yawning!

    This film tries so hard to give you chills it just doesn't work because the story is drawn out too much to try and explain what is happening.

    What also doesn't help is that the characters looks about 14 and too young to drive LOL.

    Mediocre horror

    Lots of attempted scary bits but almost all were unoriginal. The cast wasn't too bad especially the lead actress.

    Best bit is the trailer

    The trailer promises more then the film can deliver. It lacks pace, has all the atmosphere of an empty pub and is about as tense as a broken knicker elastic. Even the music is badly chosen and it's wrongness as you watch the film is actually what makes the music disturbing.

    Not as bad as all that!

    After reading this film reviews I was in two minds as to even bother watching it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It obviously isn’t about to win any awards for an original scrip or groundbreaking performances but it’s an entertaining mid week movie. A solid three and a half stars. Bit random but Elizabeth Rice reminded me of a less attractive/talented Natalie Portman…tough break!

    well its been done a hundred times before, very predictable, very silly,

    best bit was the very end/final credits, where theres a funny twist, that made me laugh.

    a wasted night!

    Acceptable

    I've read the other reviews, but i would have to disagree with them, i did quite enjoy the film. I thought the acting was okay, it doesn't have that over the top post-production visuals either. Worth a rent or watch online, but i wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

    Better than i thought

    This was better than i expected. The premise of the film is interesting and the acting isn't half bad, There's even a 'not quite' unexpected twist at the end. If you're a wuss like me and like your horror lite as apposed to full on gore fest, then you'll probably enjoy this. Recommended but not one for the priority list.

    Several jumps and an unexpected ending

    When I received this film in the post I couldn't remember what it was, so I checked out a couple of previous reviews. Which kinda slated it (well the two that came up did). So I wasn't expecting much...and was pleasantly suprised..or should that be shocked?!

    There are quite a few jumps in this film, but I am a jumpy person I admit. The acting isn't the greatest you will ever see, but it rarely is in screamfests. The effects are quite good, and at times I would say the squeamish would need to look away.

    I did not see the ending coming, and let's be honest with many films these days the ending seems very obvious, so that made a refreshing change. All in all I would recommend it, especially as Halloween will be upon us before the month is out.....

    From Within

    If you have a home cinema set up. The film is very atmospheric. When the corse moved from one person to another, you could actually hear it do so. Where people go wrong when watching a film. They might have the screen size and not the sound system that goes with it. It made me jump all through the film. I must say, im not a slasher movie fan. But on the whole I enjoyed it.
