17. "Yeah, got stuck watching it the other night, not bad..."
In response to In response to 16


  

          

... in a "it is what is" kind of way. Decent little scare flick that builds tension for the entire running time and just sort of barrels toward the inevitable (and the simplicity of the ending, though not really gory, was way more painful to watch than anything in the "Hostel" or "Saw" franchises). And I liked the atmospheric elements, particularly the use of the crackling record player.
