Hubby and I saw this movie this afternoon. I'm interested in hearing others' opinions. Neither of us liked it, in fact we were both disturbed by it and got the impression others in the theater felt the same way. I love scary, suspenseful psychological thrillers, but the "twist" at the end ruined the whole movie for me. Without spoiling, I didn't find it scary, but very sad and actually cried at the torment Dakota Fanning's character was faced with. Don't think I'll forget this movie for a long time, but not in a good way. It goes on the list of worst movies I've seen!

saw it tonight. Was disappointed, too. I am still puzzled by some of the parts. What was in the closet that made Elizabeth jump? Her picture she drew at the end what did it mean exactly?

Charlie was hiding in the closet, that's what made her jump. Without spoiling, I think the meaning of the picture was to make us think Emily had the same psychological problem surfacing that Charlie had. It's the next morning and I'm still bothered by this film. The scene towards the end of the movie in the cave with a little girl begging and in ultimate fear is still creeping me out. The fact that the victim of this movie was such a young child is awful. I think had the movie centered around an older character I wouldn't have minded as much.

i don't intend to see it although i think both de niro and fanning are great actors. i heard it was not a good movie and, from what i have read, i was right about the 'answers'/ending already.
