Stop watching it at the 30minute mark

What's starts out with an interesting situation devolves into one of the stupidest hackneyed menu of random "scary" stereotypical imagery and scenes ever.

Before I watched it, I noted the description, something like "woman with mental problems...". Well, it turns out there's another movie of the exact same name in 2009 with a vaguely similar premise. But when I went to IMDb to check the reviews (just the ratings), I thought I was checking up on THIS movie. The ratings for the other one are quite decent. So I thought I'd take a chance and see the movie (or what I thought was it).

All through the movie (well, past the half hour mark... it's decent up until that time) I'm wondering what drugs those reviewers are on, or how much they were paid to write false reviews, or if the reviews were all written by the film makers directly.

Directly after the movie ended I logged onto IMDb to investigate such false allegations of a good movie and lo and behold after I started actually reading the reviews (and not just look at the ratings) I discover that they can't possibly be talking about THIS movie.

If I do one positive thing before I die, if might be to lower your expectations about this movie enough so that you expect crap, but come away pleased that there was indeed *some* good stuff about it.
