    Anyone seen it? My son wants to go see it tonight. Looks like Paranormal Activity 4 to me.

    I've heard that it is one of the better horror movies of the last decade.

    With that said, I'm entirely too much of a puss to watch it. I can't handle ghost horror movies. Freak me out too much.

    My older brother said it was the scariest movie he's ever seen, and like Hooker I chickened out.

    I heard that as well. Maybe it is, but the trailer doesn't look all that scary.

    I would go see it as long as your son is old enough. It's one of the best horror movies I've seen. Nothing like the paranormal activity movies.

    I should go see it. It will make the last couple of days here in this 130 year old farmhouse, by myself, a bit more entertaining. ;)

    There are fifteen doors on this 2 bedroom, one bath house, so there's plenty of random door opening and creaking going on all night. There are also nine doorless 'doorways' that lead from one room to the next, so if a monster were chasing you, you can run in one room and then out the next. Convenient. :D

    It was good, not as scary as I expected but still scarier than most horror movies.

    I watched it a few nights ago. Its pretty damn creepy but half way through the movie it becomes easy to watch.

    I was forced into watching it. I quit on horror movies years ago cause they always sucked, but this one wasn't bad.

    Seen it Saturday. Excellent horror flick. Two thumbs up!
    But not even close to being the scariest movie ever... or the last decade.

    I shouldn't have compared it to Paranormal Activity. This was a really good movie. It wasn't as scary as I expected, but definately worth seeing.
