    This movie was _______. The intended suspense was predictable and fleeting.

    I think you're capable of better than that.

    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    Just watched this. Enjoyed it. I know it didn't have enough explosions and blood and guts for the rest of you Neanderthals, but for a low-budget horror movie... good.

    Predictable? Sure, but there aren't many movies of this ilk that aren't. I thought the actors sold it pretty well and it was plenty creepy.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Really Bob? I found it excruciatingly slow and sooooooooooooo predictable that it actually had me antsy.

    Again, taken for what it is, I thought it was good. Maybe I have a higher tolerance for "slow" movies because i like a lot of older films, from like the Hitchcock ouevre, and a lot of those are by modern standards very "slow." I think the pacing adds a lot to a suspense movie.

    As far as predictability.... can't really argue there, but given the subject matter I don't know what you expected exactly.

    I really didn't expect much considering my wife watches those "TAPS" shows all the time and this just seemed to be a longer version of the show with the exception that there really was a spook in the movie.

    I am a lover of the old movies too. Hitchcock movies never get old.

    I find threads like this one very enjoyable and now I want to see this flick (via Netflix for a cost of .35 though).

    Why would a Netflix movie cost you $0.35?

    Just an estimate really....9.99/mo divided by the number of movies we see a month via Netflix, so its a 'low-risk' rent in my mind because its almost free.
