This movie definitely had its points where I was scared simply because I was surprised. While I wouldn't give this movie a perfect rating, I do give it four out of five stars for being different, visually stimulating, and good for those who love movies with a supernatural and/or religious twist.

I thought I knew the plot all the way through the movie. At one point, forget about it! I wish I had kept count, but I thought I had the cliff figured out each time. I was actually dizzie by the credits and if I had not been busy the next day, I would have watched the movie more then once, to see how I was so easily confused.

If you are looking for something to make the evening a mandatory cuddle fest out of the evening, this is the flick. If you want to test your testosterone in private or with friends in the man cave, this is much better then a Resident Evil marathon. Add this to your DVR or Tivo recordings of Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunter's better cases.

By no means was it as freaky `The Exorcist', so hang in there!

Granted, I'm not that big of a fan of horror movies, I do like the occasional movie that will make you jump. This movie just wasn't that suspenseful or scary. Like 99% of the horror movies out there, this was very predictable and cliched.

Wow, one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Predictable, and boring. This movie is five as short as the original Ten Commandmants but seems fives longer. Waste of time.

I really liked this movie. I thought it was pretty creepy and the actress and actors did a good job! It kept my nerves on edge the whole time.

The movie soundtrack is very noisy and disturbing. It remains quiet and then every few minutes it will just get loud. It has too many flashbacks flash forwards and dream sequences to keep track of. We had rented the movie on tivo via unbox but we deleted it in half an hour. Good that we rented with the 99 cent special deal otherwise this would have been a waste of 3-4 dollars and half an hour.

I suppose that if you're looking for cliches, predictable effects, and a pseudo-religious thrill, you could do worse. Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2, Executive Decision, and other pieces of dreck) is just right for this sort of thing. He, like Joel Schumacher, don't seem to care anything about originality or innovation, which rears its ugly head scene after scene in this flick. I fell asleep four times and am not sure what I missed.
