I haven't watched a scary movie in the theater since I saw The Ring--all of the other releases were too dumb/fake/uninspired/unoriginal. But this movie, WOW! I think my boyfriend has a bruise on his leg from where I gripped it throughout the majority of the movie. Awesome awesome awesome! The suspense, action, and dialogue are just amazing. You're missing something extra special if you don't go and see this movie! Props to Peli and Paramount Pictures for their ingenious marketing strat.
