Movie Review by Lark
August 28th, 2007

Psycho experience = cure-all for busted marriage

The back of the DVD said something along the lines of making the viewer "squirm in their seats", and squirm I did indeed. There was suspense aplenty, lots of darkness, and a pretty spooky (if a little unoriginal) premise. I just couldn't help but think these people were a couple of boneheads, I did a whole lot more talking to the screen than I have in some time, especially when Ms. Beckinsale was hiding in the ceiling and was supposed to be quiet....all panting and gasping and whatnot...arggggh! Also to note: Early on I really liked the estranged husband/wife relationship in the car, it rang true to me.

All in all it was just okay for me, but I still like Luke Wilson, he's a sweet shlub, and I always think of him as a vampire on the X-files.....god I miss that show.

Oh, and it makes me crack up that the director's name is Nimrod....oh I know you don't pronounce it as such, but so what?
