I'm not sure why, but I had high expectations for this movie. It was extremely hyped up when it was released, and alot of people responded. However the movie failed to deliver. In an effort to maintain a PG-13 rating, the filmmakers and editors began a pattern early on. This pattern was fading to black everytime something exciting began to happen. In the beginning all that happens is a couple different people in different places get so scared that they become speechless. Some seem to have been scared to death. I actually just made the movie sound better than it is. It's not a good horror movie. You can't gather up a bunch of frightening images and call it a horror movie. I was very disappointed, I feel that most others might also be disappointed. In the DVD features there is a featurette called "Under the Skin", it talks about what makes us scared and why we like to be scared when we watch horror movies. It was kinda interesting, but this movie didn't arouse any fear under my skin.
