Started off pretty well but quickly became tedious and boring. As others have said, the protagonists just kept making stupid decision after stupid decision and the plot basically went nowhere. There was nothing scary about this film and I regret wasting my time with it. Try something else.
At every moment these folks had at least one other choice, and they simply REFUSED to make the correct one. Every time. I'm not a fan of Liv Tyler's "acting," but she was better in this than expected. Didn't make up for how ridiculous she and her partner were. Not to victim-blame, but I wanna blame the victims.
This movie is a classic! A must watch
