I went through hell to watch this movie but I don't give up easily. After spending forty-five minutes searching Google for a DVD or Blu-ray I moved on. A brain storm led me Amazon.CA (Amazon in Canada) and sure enough they had it. It seems it's available almost everywhere except the United States. Since the Region Codes are the same for the US and Canada, I ordered it and it arrived today.
I popped it into my computer for a test run and it would not play with Power DVD. It kept telling me I needed to update Power DVD for it to play and of course the "updates" would not work and it still wouldn't play.
Next I took it to a Blu-ray player and after watching at least five hideous previews it finally came on the screen with a small box that said, "Restricted" and would not play. So I hit the "Menu Button" and got it to play – in English – with English Subtitles. I hit the "Menu Button" again, switched it back to the regular version, and presto, it began to play like any normal Blu-ray would.
Immediately this film brought a couple questions to mind. Who the hell thought up the scuzzy drug dealer haircut for Thomas Jane? And, how did this couple afford their lifestyle when neither of them appeared to work or have jobs? If anyone knows how one can do this I'd like to find out.
Other reviewers have covered the plot. I'll just say that for me this film was worth waiting for. It engages the viewer's emotions as well and giving a large dose of suspense. Its ability to transition from grief to supernatural thriller was rather amazing. I'd recommend this to fans of suspense, thrillers, and horror genres and especially to those who love a nice dose of sentimentality mixed in.
