To me, this movie is perfection.

Neive Bellamy

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

There are so many bad reviews for this movie. I don't get it. I absolutely despise John Cusack - I mean, I really hate him; he's the reason I never saw it before now even though I adore Stephen King - and I still enjoyed the hell out of it. I see people saying the character wasn't set up and his "behavioral changes" from cynical writer to emotional basket case were not explained... he's being terrorized by a haunted room. What other explanation does there need to be? I'm not sure how some people could not follow this movie, or what they were looking for. It was pretty straightforward and very well done. The man is being assaulted nonstop by a supernatural force and cannot tell what is real and what isn't. It's SUPERNATURAL. As in, a ghost story. It isn't complicated and it isn't exactly groundbreaking. If everything needs to be explained to that level, what is the point of watching these kinds of movies? Also, some are criticizing the adaptation from the story yet admitting they haven't actually read the story. If someone couldn't follow the movie, the story will make even less sense. All in all, a tight little old fashioned ghost story that I enjoyed very much, Cusack or no Cusack.

What do you do with a movie that, fairly early on, shows you that the main character suffers a serious surfboarding accident and thus is so obvious in setting up brain damage as a likely reason for the lengthier remainder of the film? What do you do with a movie that shows us how the man character can override the thermostat of his hotel room once, but then fails to do so again?? What do you do with a movie that hints at, then actually goes to a crawling-through-the ventilation-system scene with absolutely no meaningful or important result(s), ether positive or negative whatsoever for the main character??? What do you do with a movie that leads the main character to believe that a bottle of brandy may have been laced with an hallucinogenic drug, thereby accounting for what he sees as distorted and unreal, but then continues to let his situation worsen with continued drinking the brandy???? And so it seems too obvious that reviewers on the IMDB website who praise this movie have major flaws in logical thinking. And as a final closure to how ridiculous this movie truly fails, you go ahead and try to figure out the ending with no help or advice...

I saw this movie and 1408 minutes later I was STILL trying to figure out why anybody would give this pile of garbage more than a 1!!!!!! Serious, some of the scenes reminded me of the hunted house at Disneyland and about as scary and about as funny. John Cusak hits a painting of a ship and the room is flooded with water? serious!? One reviewer said this was "The Shinning of 2007", please , what were YOU drinking when you saw this heaping pile of cow dung!!! If you want to see the competition for worse movie of the 21st Century along with Artificial Intelligence and want to waste over an hour, watch this crap.

This movie is enjoyable - but embarrassingly predictable. The acting was .... over the top. (to a point that it was rather funny) The pacing of the movie is its greatest flaw. Twists and turns happen at a time when it can not possibly be happening, considering the length of the movie - which renders those twists (unsurprisingly) pointless.There are some great scenes that reminded me on something out of a Lovecraft story - but all in all - it was a simple story of redemption.
