More of physical terror than spiritual terror

Rating: 3/10 (3 September 2011)

It was interesting to see how horror would be depicted in a hotel room. It turned into physical violence by the ghosts that would have been terrorizing even if they were not done by any super natural entities. This turned away from pure ghost based terror like "Juon". Asians might have the market in this genre. I think they understand true spiritual terror better than the Hollywood movie makers.
The acting was good, and although there was only two real actors in this movie, John Cusack and Samuel Jackson, they built enough tension to make the whole story work. The first 30 minutes of the movie was superb mostly due to the acting abilities of these two actors.
The rest of the movie, you have to see it for yourself. Whether you like it or not will probably depend on where you're coming from. Unexpected turn of events were well placed, and as a movie this was an entertaining piece.
