Just watched it. Once I got over how Fucking annoying that kid was in the early going, it was great. Excellent tension and just pure dread building. But damn that kid sucked.
Haha. I think you're kinda supposed to feel that way about the kid. At least at first.
It does build dread quite nicely. And it gave me chills a number of times, too. Really effective horror flick...

Just watched it. I sort of felt the complete opposite. The kid was definitely annoying to begin with, but by the end of the movie, I thought he was the best thing in it. He almost brought me to tears. But I'm a bit tipsy and my heart swells when my kids fart, so maybe I'm an easy mark.

I know the feeling having a daughter (roughly) the same age as that kid. I know how kids can act sometimes just to get attention. Even though I'm not a single parent, and my wife and I both have decent jobs, I still have that fear of not being able to provide for my daughter and give her a good childhood. I guess for those reasons this film hit home for me. I just felt really bad for the kid (at times) and mom for what they have to go through.
This was up there as one of my favorite horror flicks. It wasn't the scariest movie I've ever seen, but it has a rare balance of solid acting, a great story line and terror which just hooked me. I would definitely watch this again.
