Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

anitsuj The bottom line: don't waste your time. This should not be called "The Monkey's Paw." This has nothing to do with the original story. I am so very disappointed! I was hoping that the story was brought to the big screen. I could not be any more wrong. I highly suggest for viewers who like the original story NOT to view the movie. However, if you have never read the original story or do not like the original story, watch the movie an decide for yourself how bad the movie REALLY is. Truly, it id REALLY bad. If you decide to waste your time with this movie, I hope you have the chance to do something else constructive in parallel. I hope somebody decides to remake this movie the way it is supposed to be.

couchfrenchfry Remains true to the original story, which is truly horrific. It's an old idea, you get three wishes but the granting of those wishes makes you wish you were dead. The victim usually ends up wishing that his first two wishes be reversed. This film has a different twist at the end. What's also good about this version is the very realistic slice of life of some factory workers living somewhere near New Orleans. You feel that these are real people. To me this is better than a lot of special effects and some hard to believe monster. There is a nicely creepy aura to that part of the world. Anyway, this film keeps you going with action and surprise twists. In a word, it will haunt you.

Maleplatypus This is a good old-fashioned "horror" movie. Well, not much of a horror, though. Reminds me of Stephen King's works (storytelling) and Wes Craven's earlier movies (Chiller). There's even some E.A. Poe here. It is well directed, correctly acted, edited and shot almost perfectly (compliments to the camera-man). Much better than many of so-called horror movies nowadays (with few notable exceptions, of course). It's even funny occasionally. The basic concept is very well known "careful what you wish for..." and if you disregard obvious basic nonsense of "three wishes granting" (actually one is perfectly enough: make all my wishes come true), the rest is a nice little movie in which the atmosphere itself is scary, not the actual "slashes" and stuff. So, I like it. Of course there is a cliffhanger! "If the movie is a success, let's make some sequels and squeeze money out of it." On the other hand, it is a whole in itself and any sequels could ruin the whole idea. I recommend it to the people familiar with the genre (who could see the references and acknowledgments and appreciate good work)and anybody who wishes (be careful, though!) to see a good one. This movie deserves to be watched.

boynascar Now don't get me wrong, not a bad movie by far, however the trailers and hype brought this movies potential to be one of the best horror films in years. Kind of fell short. I agree it's not the worst movie and very well worth watching, just don't expect academy awards for this. I give this flick a solid 6-7 stars (out of 10) for getting so many to watch it in the first place, a good solid 5 for the acting, as for the plot, we'll have to dig a little deeper for this to even reach a 4. The story line and plot fell short in every category I can think of, at times I swear the actors were ablibing lines to fill in the plot holes. So overall score... A solid 5. Hope you enjoy it, I did , past 2 hours in a flash..... My wife keeps yelling at me for singing "Monkey Paw, Monkey, monkey paw all day " over n over...lol.. (Very loud at that :))
