    It's watchable, not as bad as other's have portrayed it
    This isn't great horror, but it's definitely good enough to watch; I would watch it again in a minute. Certainly the territory has been covered before with shock horror and a twist ending, but I wasn't expecting some great burst of originality, just a decent movie experience, and I found it.

    There are the standard horror clichés; people where they shouldn't be, ignoring all the warning signs and acting somewhat stupidly. You've seen it before, you'll see it again, and it's here in all it's splendor - however, that doesn't spoil the movie. There are decent special effects, some good shock moments, and a twist at the end to fulfill your expectations and keep you from falling asleep.

    It's worth a rental if you're in the mood for some horror and nothing else catches your eye.
