It was a great movie. Just wish she didn't trip and fall. It's beyond cliche.

I hated the screenplay, and the movie was even worse.

The strangers' supernatural abilities really threw me off. The tap-on-the-shoulder scare has got to be the dumbest horror movie moment of 2008. Did they really think that was clever?

I'm still waiting on a home invasion movie that doesn't take place in Saskatoon.

This movie would have nothing without the out-of-focus-he/she's-behind-you that they beat into the ground for the 90 minutes of its running time.

Has anyone else seen Ils? This is that movie done less effectively with more money.



But, I mean, it's probably more entertaining than Aliens...

But, dude, Saskatchewan leads the league in home invasions. Z0MG! Art imitates life!

(No, I haven't seen this, either.)

This scared the piss and shit out of me. I thought I was going to puke through the whole thing because I was so tensed up.

I've come to realize people in masks who don't talk scare the shit out of me more than anything else.

I thought the film was okay, but over-hyped.
The depth of field gag was run into the dirt, and the bookend kind of worked against the film for me.
I also will recommend ILS over this.
