But I didn't feel it was any better than any other mediocre horror flick from that era. I didn't really get the point of it. I turned it off about halfway through.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It looked great, sounded great, was stylish and all, but to me it was boring and had no point. The final 15 minutes and the ending in particular, after all that wait, were incredulous and unoriginal. The comparisons to Polanski are laughable at best, and at least the 80s movies that it paid homage to were fun. This one wasn't. Trust me, you missed nothing.
