    Just watched this now wondered if anyone else had seen it and your thoughts?

    I liked it as it wasnt your typical horror with lots of gore (which i thought it was gonna be). Seeing hardly any gore and focusing more on the sounds and emotions scares me much more.

    Although i didnt like the whole him talking to the camera and the rewind thing with the remote. Also her trying to fix her phone for ages which was hopeless.

    The two guys wound me up watching it

    I'm your girl and your my man, its just an illusion.

    This i know.

    cant say ive seen this film but i def agree that films are often scarier when you dont see much and it is the music building up and that. an example of this was 'signs'  how scary was it till the end where they ruined it by showing you the alien. anyways, sorry, but yeah, i agree :)

    I downloaded it because it has Tim Roth in it, but i didn't read your comment in case of spoilers. Is it worth a watch?

    I just saw this recently, actually...

    Quote: V_Translanka's Flixster Review

    1 & 1/2 Stars
    I get it. It's trying really hard to kind of be a satire of horror, I think. The main thing was the shot of the knife near the beginning. And we get the random killers who never have reason...& they do it all in a cutesy way by having the main killer...(read more) occasionally break the 4th wall by talking to the audience & at one point even using a remote control to undo things. But it all just felt too forced, contrived and above all just boring. Too many times is the scene of violence off-screen that you'd think they'd have said, "Wait, isn't this exactly how we just filmed the last scene?"...Good performances by Watts & Roth though, I guess and I'll always give props to a movie that gets rid of an annoying character quickly...it's just too bad that ALL of the characters are annoying.
