A rather mediocre movie but the the twist genuinely creeped me out because of the implications it had on the the movie's backstory.

One of the better horror flicks of 2005. Creepy atmosphere and surprises I did not see coming.

Overall it was quite average; it didn't have any tremendously spectacular moments, but didn't suffer from any serious pitfalls either. Boo to all the naysayers, the ending was excellent.

More Southern cliches than fleas on a stray dog on a hot summer afternoon. Hoo-wee.
