I went and saw this movie,
My step-brother won tickets off a radio station for the preview, and I am glad that I got to see it, (For Free), it definitely was not worth the price of the ticket. Having Jordana Brewester was good, the acting was mediocre and as many have said it is the same tired old story.
One Guy said that it was more disturbing, then scary, and there some intense parts, and they were not predictable, and this is true. But for the most part it was OK, I would definitely wait for the DVD that is always better anyways with all the extras and crap that they put in there.
