When Jill discovers her friend's body on the bathroom floor, the friend's left arm is draped over her torso. The camera cuts to Jill reacting, then cuts to an aerial shot of the bathroom as Jill runs out, showing the friend's body on the floor, with her left arm resting alongside her body. See more »Quotes

I was surprised that this movie is so poorly rated. I think it is excellent and so refreshing in the horror genre. The story itself is old and familiar but the director, leading actress and everybody else who participated in producing of this movie made something new. I certainly wasn't bored although the movie is slow and nobody gets killed every ten minutes like in every other horror movie. The best way to describe it is to compare it to Hitchcock movies. The tension slowly gathers and culminates in the end.I think that most people did not expect that if they were watching trailer, which would be a great mistake to make because you will almost see the ending and it just spoils the fun.Really, who makes this trailers, it is like movie-a-minute.
