This movie always sparked my interest, but alas I missed it in theaters and didn't go crazy for renting it immediately. Finally I get around to it, hoping for an underrated gem. Sadly not the case. The movie just felt too redundant for me. Here's what happens, Kate Hudson takes care of John Hurt, he freaks out a bit, she wonders what's going on, at night she investigates something in her underwear (although can't argue with that), repeat sequence. OK, there was more to that, but I just felt nothing was happening, I've had more happen in my most boring classes! And sadly none of the scares worked for me at all. I wasn't once a little creeped out by the images nor did I ever jump from the boo scares.
But there is a redeeming factor that keeps my rating from going even lower (besides Kate's naked back and underwear scenes): the ending twist! Woah, did not see that coming at all! Even though I can't say I would recommend seeing the movie, the ending is a must see. See it however you want. You can watch this movie (maybe your experience will be different than mine) or look it up on Youtube. But dang did it kick! Too bad I had to sit through an otherwise pretty dull hour and a half to get to it.
So, it pretty much disappointed me majorly, but heck I have seen worse.
