Took my son to see this movie with me. All I can say was that it was a movie that pulled you in emotionally because you really got to like and care about the characters first. So when the extremely creepy then terrifing stuff starts to happen you feel like your right there with them. All I can add is that at the end of the movie my son and I we're freaked out and felt as though we had been totally drained emotionally.In fact for few minutes after it ended everyone in the theater was just sittng and staring at the screen trying to gather themselve's. It stayed with us for hours after we left the theater! It was as scary as a story could possibly be bar none! If you go to see it be afraid be very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck.
