Like some others have already stated, this movie has some places that will make you jump... and this movie is a nice change-of-pace over those other type of horror movies which are more just blood and guts. From this perspective, this movie reminds me of "The Others".
I thought it had a nice story about closure of a relationship between a man and his mother. Most complaints seem to be about the ending, but I have no complaints about the ending. True, the ending is up for interpretation whether his mother wanted closure with her son or if he only imagined it. Being the optimist I am, I choose to think that the former represents the ending.
Some people also complain there doesn't seem to be closure with his wife and son, but considering (1) his wife's complaint about him was that was is too unemotional and (2) she felt the reason for his behavior had something to do with his mother, to me, again being the optimist, there is full closure as well. With what he experienced, he should be able to be more open-minded, more emotional, and more of the type of husband and father that his wife wants him to be.
With the slew of mediocre movies I had been watching recently, this movie was a pleasant surprise. (Currently I rate this as a 7 but I may have to raise it to an 8.)
