Your Opinions and Comments
The atmosphere all along the movie is spooky and the suspense is real. However, I have found the ending VERY disappointing.
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs and the picture is always crystal clear.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is ok. The surrounds are used occasionally for some sound effects, but that`s about it.
The menus are animated with sound.
There are no extras on the disk. Be sure not to watch the trailer prior to watching the movie, since it gives away too much information that can ruin the movie for you. And yeah, I don`t count a trailer as an extra feature.
Bottom line - what could`ve been an excellent thriller is degraded to only a good movie due to its ending. Still, worth watching.
