I didn't find a twist in it. Although it wasn't the greatest film, I found it better than the Grudge, White Noise, Gothika, and most horror films that have come out within the past couple of years. I wasn't disappointed as much with this one. I did get chills during two scenes (the one with the mother and the one with the children), and I felt the creaky eeriness of the house was chilling (it's always scarier when you don't see the thing that's making you scared.) I also liked the going out one door and coming through another thing.
My boyfriend did not like it. He felt it didn't go anywhere, nor did it explain much. What happened to his girlfriend???
My biggest problem are these films that save money by hiring European actors with REALLY BAD American accents and filming them in other countries, and then trying to pass them off as American made films. It was quite obvious, just by the exteriors that this was filmed elsewhere (New Zealand, i believe - but I'm saying that because Lucy Lawless had a cameo).
And Every single actor was faking their accent.
I know they do this for financial reasons, but, what's wrong with the actor's speaking in their native tongue. It would have been the same story had it been in America, or New Zealand.
Thank goodness for Cursed (the preview itself looks so much better than the whole Boogeyman film) and Constantine. At least we have better horror films to look forward to.
P.S. The little boy's voice at the beginning of the movie was obviously dubbed. You never saw him speak. Guess he wasn't good enough to fake an accent.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
