A very effective psychological horror.

Rating: 7/10 (17 October 2007)

The start of the movie until entering the Dolphin hotel could have been more effective in my opinion. I found John Cusack's character a bit overacted and unrealistic until this point, but it wasn't too distracting.
Samuel L. Jackson provided a short and nice buildup to elevate the tension before entering the room.
I thought the first half of the hotel room experience was very good but somewhere along the way the movie lost its focus and the scary touch for the most part.
In the end I thought it was an enjoyable movie. 7/10
