All I can say is that this movie was more than I expected. It started out a little slow, but progressively got more freaky as it went on. At the end of it all, I came out of the theater literally shaking. When my friend and I walked outside, everyone from the 3 theaters that ran the movie was outside smoking a cigarette; even if they didn't smoke! It was even more creepy that it was set in San Diego, which is where I live, and mostly because you couldn't tell if it was based on true events or not. The fact that all of this could have really happened adds a different element of scary to this movie. I would definately recommend it!
