Delivers as promised

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2010)

I just watched this movie upon my wife's insistence. It was rated one star on Comcast TV guide. Movie was definitely better than that. Story flowed throughout and kept pace. Acting was good. All characters were believable. Muted dramatics and theatrics really made acting more enjoyable.
Cinematography is great. Overall visually quite appealing. Product designer did a really good job with the house. None of the actors were gorgeous but their chemistry was very believable.
Violence is faithfully and graphically depicted. It is not necessarily just a scare, rather good gore and horror. Strongly suggested viewing for late night. Ending definitely was surprising. Although movie took too long to end, with some predictable twists and turns.
