i have been waiting awhile for a decent horror film and i have heard a lot of good things about this film..i heard they sent out copies of the film on VHS to some critics which is really cool..it just opened at a small art house theatre where i live so i will be going to see it even though it comes out next week on dvd

Yeah, it’s an irony-free zone. The whole haunted house movie feels so darn tired, and this took some of the core elements behind it and created a fresh approach to the genre.

I saw this on HDNet movies and just loved it. How wonderful to see a serious horror movie that avoids the hip irony that’s so commonplace these days.
