I couldn't even get through this movie. The whole first 45 minutes revolves around trying to explain the fact that they can't go for help and it's just ridiculous. First of all, nobody leaves their house without their phone charged. Liv Tyler's character goes out to dinner and when she comes home her phone is dead. Sure. Second, she manages to get to her land line when someone is trying to break into her house. Does she call 911? Nooooo....she calls the boyfriend asking him to come home. Then the land line goes dead. The boyfriend manages to make it home, but *gasp* leaves his cell in his car. He goes out to get the cell and *gasp* it's gone. While he's outside does he go to a neighbor's house for help? Noooo...he goes back inside. Then they decide they have to get out of there so they make it to the car. When they get to the street, they see a car coming at them, so they stop instead of trying to avoid the other car and go around. Then they see a car coming at them from behind. Do they gun the car and go around the one in front? Noooo....they sit there and get hit from behind. What to do now? Run back into the house, of course. I couldn't take any more at this point. Both of them are so useless I don't even care if they get killed at this point. This movie is just frustrating and predictable. Can't Hollywood even make an attempt to come up with something original any more?

I am a huge fan of the horror genre, and just let me say, this film did not fit it. This film ranks #2 on my worst movies of all time list (above Dragon Wars, disgusting). The story is absolutely absurd, the characters do things that no ordinary human being would in those situations. It's like the movie is one drawn-out high school haze fest in a cabin. Heaven forbid the characters just run away, but no that would be a terrible idea. There was not even a single jump moment in the film either. If you thought this was scary, do yourself a favor and go watch the Spanish movie REC (Record, not Quarentine), and you will experience fear. In terms of endings, this was the most anti-climatic ending in the history of movies. One would think these "strangers" would be a little more diabolical in the finale, but nope, pure hog-wash. All in all, I was extremely angry at my friends for making me spend the $8.50 to see this in theaters, and the only enjoyable part of watching this movie was the Skittles I ate during it.

Let me start this review by saying that I had high expectations for this movie. I guess my reasoning for those expectations was the fact that the burlap sack mask was one of few masks that actually creeped me out, the others being leatherface and of course, Jason Voorhees. Anyhow, this movie was fantastic. It was truly terrifying, which is saying something coming from me. I have never seen a movie that messed with my head as bad as this movie. Scenes where the killers are standing in the background, completely visible but behind the characters, were fantastic. There were parts where all would be silent, you'd be ready to jump, and somewhere, in one of the other rooms, one of the killers would simply start the record player, which messes with you cause you're so ready for someone to jump and scare the hell out of you. In conclusion, this is the best new horror I've seen since the remake of the Texas chainsaw massacre, the only thing keeping me from giving it a 10 is a plot hole near the beginning of the movie, that bugged me, but the absolute perfection of the rest of the movie completely outweighed it.
