Horrible horror

This movie was disgustingly bad. The orphan was a psychotic b***h who got away with everything, and it was due mostly to the imbecilic husband. I can't believe they could write a husband/father who could be that naive and stupid. All that character did was make me angry. Kudos to Peter Sarsgaard for playing that dumb ass character so convincingly.

This movie suffers from a fatal flaw: bad writing. Every time that psycho b***h decided to kill someone, the writers made sure the setting was perfect for her. Worse yet, every victim was a character I liked a lot. The one character I hoped she would get...well, you know. A good horror flick shouldn't make you angry enough that your blood is boiling at the end.

A good horror flick usually has an element of humor somewhere in it. This had none. And that Jimmy Durante song during closing credits...give me a freakin' break!

I'm so sorry to have to bash this flick because my favorite actress, Vera Farmiga, stars in it. She was fantastic, as always. I love her in every movie she's made, and until this one, I've loved her movies as well. I just wish she would have passed on this one because I never would have bought the movie in the first place.

This movie was disgusting. I recommend a pass on this one. It just might make you as angry as it did me.

As much as I love Vera Farmiga, I'm so sorry I bought this flick. There go two hours of my life I'll never get back.
