Thoughts;
The opening sequence is a little confusing. I was afraid at first that this would a foreign film, the kind you have to read, to be honest, and I don’t watch those. I prefer to watch and listen vs. Watch and read. None of this is the case at all and later on the opening sequence is just letting the viewer have a feel for what is going to go on.

Once Julia Stiles come in the movie plot starts making sense. You can see where the movie is going and it is a little predictable. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t good.

One thing I was super confused about is why, if both parents are American, does their daughter Hannah have an English Accent? In the middle of the movie, you do find this out, I just think that this should have been explained before this point.

The movie itself was not at all slow moving, it moved at a pretty fast pace and had both the creepy factor and the scare factor. All in all it was pretty good, I must admit that I jumped a few times, even though I knew something was coming!

If you like this kind of movie, I think you’d enjoy this one
