You refuse to watch it cause it's got subtitles?

ah ok! I was gonna say you'd be missing out if you didn't like sub'd movies!

It's actually quite a good film, not what i expected. Check it out.

So you go by what other people tell you? Mel isn't even in the movie, he just directed it. And also, it's COULDN'T care less. If you could care less that means actually do care.

I liked it. A nice change of pace although I guess I'd agree with what some others said though...more of a thriller than a horror movie.

As a thriller movie, I would give it 3/5 stars.

The plot was pretty simple and predictable. The story device of using characters who are weak and bumbling and get themselves killed or hurt is really annoying. I've gotten so tired of it that I almost want them to get what's coming.

Kate Beckinsale is always entertaining to watch, even thought she didn't have much to do in this film.

Thankfiully the movie is very short, and it didn't waste too much of my time.

I think that screenwriter could have made it a more interesting story with twists and gotcha's by making it a surprise at the end that the husband (or even the wife) was in on the whole thing.

This was worth a FREE rental (via my Blockbuster exchange). I'm glad I didn't buy it this week. I wouldn't watch it again.

On the other hand, this week I bought The Lookout and Wild Hogs, and really liked both. Wild Hogs seems like a stupid movie from the preview, but it really does have some great laughs in it.

It can be considered both. Again, just because it doesn't have a lot of gore in it does NOT automatically make it a thriller.

I watched it last night in the dark with the sound blasting and I thought it was great; I thought the end was perfect (except for SPOILER:
-

him living, kinda hollywoodish and made it a little weak), but mostly it was a nice change.
Horror and Thriller are often combined, but not the same; like others said, this is a thriller, not a horror movie.
Both this movie and hostel are good and dissimilar (this movie is not as dark and gory as hostel, and much more family friendly.

Rented it and watched it with the wife yesterday afternoon... I have to say it was pretty disappointing... It felt like watching Scream 3. A little too predictable and the plot was kinda weak. Hey if you liked it, good for you. But for me to pick it up it would have to be at the $5 bin at Walmart with a 50% discount...
