The slow pace of this movie leads you to expect the scary bumps in the night. In other words, the scary parts are predicatbly timed. To my pleasant surprise, the creepy moments and surpises were well timed enough that they remained very effective. I jumped quite a few times. Even though the movie ending left my husband and me feeling a little unfinished, I'd say it was a thrilling experience overall. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to get scared. You will want to sleep with the light on. NOTE: The shaky camera may be a little painful for anyone with motion sickness so be prepared.
