I was just wondering what everyone thought of the movie? I actually enjoyed it. It was very bleak, but I like that. Cool premise, although it wasn't really what I was expecting from the previews. I thought there was going to be some sort of monster.

I LOVED it. I was expecting a horror movie, but I'm so glad it wasn't. I enjoyed the story, the setting was great, the way it was shot was amazing, slow pace, but I think it worked well, I loved having to wait for the end for everything to come together, Sarah was great, the music was fantastic.

I really liked this movie. I think it was sadly underrated!
The plot was a tad confusing at first but I really liked that it made me thing.
There is an alternate ending on the DVD that makes the ending a little clearer but I liked the theatrical ending better because it left it a tad more open.
There were a few significant plot holes in this movie that I can't get past. How did the co-worker know where to find SMG and know what hotel she was in. Why was that man stalking SMG before she found the knife.... but over all, the movie was really good (IMO).
the preview was definitely misleading and I think that, if the movie was marketed correctly, it could have been more successful.

I know I'm dragging this topic back up, but I wanted to say that before I saw this movie I really wanted to like it. I love SMG and usually love all her movies (Scooby Doo excluded) but this was honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I think it had so much potential, but the director and producers made it into a complete mess. I was very disappointed not only because the movie was terrible, but also because I wanted to like it so much. Hopefully her upcoming movies will be much better, I can't wait to see The Air I Breathe, and have only heard good things about her acting and character and the movie in general. This could be her big role that makes her a respected film actress.

You really didnt like it? I though it was great. I love the film. Sarah did great in it, its like the only movie (apart from CI) that i ddint see her a Buffy. I though the storyline was brilliant. It not only kept you thinking during the fiml even after it you where still thinking which i think is a great film.

No I really didn't like it. The only thing I liked about it was her eyebrows and hair style/colour. Both were very nice. She actually looked really good in the movie. Unfortunately her good looks alone can't carry a movie that goes for one and a half hours. I probably could have watched her running around looking beautiful for one hour, even with no story or intelligent dialogue, but that last half hour really grew tired quick. But I still bought the dvd to support her! I hope she makes better film choices in the future.

I really liked it. The first time watching it left me very confused, but the second time made everything clear and Sarah was wonderful.

I thought the movie was quite bad. I own it on DVD- Simply because it starred SMG.
The pace was slow, far too slow. It was very boring. The only thing it kept me thinking about, was how long until i leave the cinema hall.
OK, I'm a little 'over-harsh'. I would have much preferred a spooky/jumpy/ scarier movie than this 'thriller'. I found the last 10 minutes of the movie good (once the main story came into perspective).
If maybe written differently....
What was the alternate ending you were talking about CBG? You see, the UK DVD didn't get ANY special features!

I must admit I was expecting more form this film.The ending with all the flashbacks was good, the best part of the film. I am not keen on Sarah with brown hair though.
