Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ferrisjack-04550 The ending made up for the terrible acting and atmosphere at the beginning. Throughout the movie the main character did nothing rationally and could've solved her problems swiftly.The mystery that surrounds the death of the mother was intriguing and the father's new girlfriend was mysterious as well. Overall the buildup could've been better and the suspense was stifled by the acting and dialogue.

Namanpreet Singh the makers of this movie certainly got confused with the genre,it has an supernatural horror mixed with mystery and thriller and that's the reason the movie makes lesser impact than it could have done. if the movie had an mystery thriller genre this could be an decent movie. otherwise it has an great suspense..

actorgal1 I was so angry that I wasted this time in my life, hoping this film would get better and make sense. You would think with Spielberg's DreamWorks attached that would have been a real possibility. However, I was left with an empty feeling of HOW DOES A FILM LIKE THIS GET MADE??? I figured this film out in the first 9 minutes and it never scared me, shocked me, surprised me or above all impressed me. It was plain predictable drek with so many devices being used one wonders what the "real screenplay" read like?So disappointed. Spend your time more wisely and don't waste it on this piece of flotsam.

SnoosReviews I have not seen the original – A Tale of Two Sisters – I was unaware that this was a remake when I watched it so I am unable to create comparisons between the two. If I had known, I probably would have been put off the American Remake and not bothered watching it – as they do have a reputation for being poor.The main problem with this movie is that it lacks any sort of atmosphere, it fails to build suspense and when it does come to the boil it leaves you cringing rather than being spooked. A big problem is that everything is revealed too early on; this kills all chances of suspense being built. With everything being revealed, everything there is a bump or Anna walks into the shadows you know what is in there and what is going to jump out. Once you have seen it, it is no longer anything to fear. There are some obvious scenes where it is really trying to build up the atmosphere and scare you but it really doesn't work, it all feels a little too predictable and leaves you thinking 'I've seen this done a thousand times'. It feels more like a thriller than a horror, and a badly done thriller at that.The acting is a mixed bag: Emily Browning (who plays Anna) gives a great performance; she is believable and makes you feel connected to the character. Elizabeth Banks (Rachel) also puts in a credible performance. However Arielle Kebbel (Alex) is quite awful, she really brings down some of the scenes with her acting.Usually 84 minutes would be a little short for a feature film but in this case it probably did it some favours. I'm sure the my rating would have dropped if this had been dragged out with a 120 minute run-time.I won't ruin it for you but the end of the movie actually saved it from an even worse rating by myself. IMDb is full of people saying how predictable it was and how they saw it coming a mile off but I didn't expect it. I am curious to see the original now and I am sure I will get round to watching it at some time.5/10
