not too impressed, i didn't think CUSACK pulled it off. who would you have had play his role in the movie? JACK maybe?

I liked it. although it did start to feel like a sequal to identity at a few points. but all around it was pretty cool and weird. I really liked the post office scene.

huge Cusack fan. Can't see anyone else doing it. So that pretty much makes me biased in saying that I liked the movie. Thought is was good for a PG-13 suspense movie as most of those tend to suck.

well i thought it was good compared to most of the recent horror movies... does not hold a candle to The shinning and stuff though... i woulda bought it on Blu.

Awesome movie. It wasn't supposed to be balls out scary. It was intended to be more of a dark humor piece than a screamfest. I think too many people expected to see lots of gore.
I would definitely purchase this on blu-ray.

I thought it was okay. However, the PS3 did a great job of upconveriting the regular DVD.

- your probably right, their are alot of movies that i like better watching the second time because of initial expectations being too high, or the movie not being at all what i expected.

Josh Lucas would've been awesome in this role.
