If they ever make a sequel, let’s have the 2 guys show up at a house with “a challenge.” Let’s see them try this in NYC. Just like “THE STRANGERS”, I think that “sickos” in movies like this need more of a challenge instead of “picking on the weak!!” Just my opinion.

This “film” is a pile of crap. Way too artsy. The only thing I am happy about is that I watched it on a bootleg movie website so the people responsible for this steaming pile didn’t make a dime off of me. Did anyone even see the scene where the main villain picks up a tv remote and rewinds the movie so his partner doesn’t die? A two hour movie showing animals deficating would have been just as entertaining as this movie.

I watched the movie. I thought it was awesome. I actually enjoyed the part with the family having to wait. It had incredible way of messing with your mind, and I kinda started rutting for the intruders just because of the way they handled themselves. The one thing I did not like was there wasnt enough breaking of the fourth wall. But it was cool.

I saw this over the weekend and I can’t really agree with the review (Serena – beautifully written review!). I didn’t find it scary, just annoying. Beautiful, and stylish with actors really giving it their best, but annoying. It just seemed so utterly pointless. The 4th wall stuff bugged the shit out of me, particularly the … um… how to say without spoiling….”Vantage Point effect”(?). I get that it was all subversive, but I believe subversion should have a point. Subverting cinema conventions simply for the sake of subversion is just an empty academic exercise. Empty is exactly how I felt after this film – like I had just wasted a couple hours of my day.

I was deeply effected by “Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer”, that film stayed with me for days, and impacted every interaction I had with people for a time after. This film though..I had moved on emotionally before my bladder was drained in the theater restroom.

Tarantino is a great film maker he makes very artistic films you can’t say he is not artistic he created a new genre. Now all film students try to make his film and they suck.

I would see this movie Watts is hot.

@ Alex,

It was just released on Friday for limited release. Considering the film is apart of the horror genre, 48 %percent on RT is actually a good sign.

I haven’t been following this film much, but your review has peaked my interest. I’ve decided I’d like to see both version so I added the ’97 version into my Netflix que and if time allows I’ll try to catch this in the theater. If I don’t then definitely on DVD.
I don’t like to see horror movies alone and it’s not always easy to get someone to go to the theater with me.
