Not bad

Now this movie was a jumpy one, better if watched at the cinema, if watched at home would be better with surround sound. The soundtracks to this movie makes it sinister, some parts of the movie are slow and a bit poor but all round worth watching if you like your horror movies.
Sin-teresting

It was a fantastic movie, Ethan Hawke was superb in his acting and the dialogue was great. Above all, the horror plot felt quite unique, which is a hard find.
I'd definitely recommend it!

I went to watch this film on the spare of the moment with my girlfriend. I thought the film was good, Ethan hawke plays a slightly obsessed man really well.
To all new comers to horror or those who scare easily, this will be an unforgettable horror film, to all those who have seen many a hanging body or a face jumping at the screen then you're in for a great film with one or two jumps thrown in!
Have a good one!
