I love this movie so much

I wanted to but couldn't!

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I thought this movie was confusing but good....who chained up the Mom in the basement? why was the Mom chained up?was the dog in the movie real or in the main characters head?

This movie is not perfect there are some things that are pointless near the end, however the bulk of it was fantastic. The characters and story are explained early, so you have some background. Then what you are left with, in my opinion, is a roller coaster of emotion and wonder. It keeps you thinking and trying to figure out if what you are thinking is correct. Like I said not perfect, but about 90% of it is worth a watch. Its not a horror, ultimately a psychological thriller / mystery.

It was good and makes you wonder. Worth watching!! Everyone will have their own opinion so don't let some reviews deter you, also don't read most of them because they give away to much of the movie.

This movie begins explaining nothing. First of all. Second it's great they didn't explain why our main character Tom, was committed to a mental institution for the criminally insane. I mean 20 years and he's 33ish so clearly something awful happened as a teen with his brother Alex. That's all you can put together they tell you nothing till halfway through but it's quite a shock. It's extremely disturbing and intense. Now to the plot. The movie is well done as far as melting a schizophrenic reality with everyone else's reality. It's confusing what is real and what is an illusion. Then strange occurrences start around the house leading Tom to secret passageways and rooms with a voyeur mirror. The passageways have peep holes as it goes through the entire house. The home itself is very interesting. What's even more interesting is how his "episodes" lead him straight to these secret places, they are brought on by strange noises shaking doors opening and eerie phone calls from a private number with moaning and a ton of white noise.... then the brother starts appearing but how can he if he's serving prison time? Is he really home or is it Tom's alternate reality? The phone calls he receives from a private number are chilling. perhaps something from beyond is trying to reach him? Or is it all in his mind?
