This was a really good movie! It was fun and exciting. It had enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat..but not too much. Mrs. Tingle was so mean, you'll just love to hate her.She manipulates everyone and plays on their insecurities. Helen Mirren did such a good job playing her that I wonder if she is really a mean person. The plot was quite unlikely, but its a fun movie. This is an awesome movie and I really recommend it to you if you want to see a different kind of movie than most.
