I never wanted to see it in the theaters but I was a little curious.
I have it in my Blockbuster que.
Any opinions?
Is it even worth watching?

I am possibly the funniest man alive because I make the joke everyone's thinking but no one wants to say for fear of being "lame".

awful awful awful. i went to see it on halloween, and can't believe i wasted my money. the acting is really bad, even by horror movie standards, and it has without a doubt the dumbest plot twist i've ever seen. ever. at times its kind of creepy and disturbing, in a seven rip-off kind of way, but it has so many glaring inconsistencies that its almost insulting (and this is coming from somebody who really likes horror flicks)

Bingo. Great story. Horrible execution!

I want to see the movie simply because a Front Line Assembly song is played in it for 8 seconds. Leeb r0x.

I SAW (haha) it... I thought the movie could have been much scarier if the acting wasn't so bad. I couldn't believe that my beloved Wes ("as you wish") could act so badly in later films. Anyway, the story itself scared me, but the movie (acting) sucked. I was only scared when I thought of the whole premise later on and thought, "what if that were real and I was involved?" So, I would wait and rent this later on.

i actually just got back from watching it for the first time. It's pretty fucked up. I was pretty much yelling shit at the screen for the duration of rht efilm, which is always a good sign, but the ending is definitely one of those things where [err, don't read this: Danny Glover pulls a Scatman Crothers [i]a la[i/] "The Shining"there, now keep reading. But it's definitely worth watching...if only for sitting there going "where do i know the actress who plays his wife from?" for a half hour and then realizing it's nothing you cared about.

Thanks for the early warning (spoiler alert)

I'm going to watch it, although sure to be disappointed.
