What makes this horror-comedy so incredibly scary, on top of the well created atmosphere, is the balance between terror and tounge-in-cheek. To wit, Lin Shaye at one point places a shotgun in her mouth, seemingly about to blow her own head off, only to announce presently that she was just kidding around. At other times horrific events ensue and this uncertainty proves disturbingly effective.

Another one of those post-Sixth Sense (maybe it's not...I don't care enough to look it up) "thrillers" that exists ONLY to show off the shocking "twist" that the writer came up with. I imagine these guys come up with the twist first and write the movies second. It shows.

Horror, thriller i szczypta czarnej komedii. Wynik jest lepszy niz przypuszczalem, to naprawde bardzo dobry film, zarowno od strony ciekawego scenariusza, az po dobre dialogi i dosc realistyczne zachowania postaci (a przynajmniej nie ma takich bezsensow jak w wielu innych horrorkach). Bawilem sie znakomicie, ten film i trzyma w napieciu i chwilami wywoluje usmieszek na twarzy. Polecam.

Super low budget movie that is all atmosphere and almost no substance. Horror without gore. Some dark comedy mixed with lots of pointless scenes and poor acting. Its basically a waking nightmare.
