A family of sheep farmers, deep america, slow everything is slow the film is slow, the father is sick the mother is losing her mind, the days go by slowly, strange things start to happen but slowly, you have to be patient to continue, if you do not lose yourself in the slowness, and the days go by, strange things increase, but everything is still slow, but you have to take care of the sick father and work slowly, Friday the phone rings without reason and slowly the daughter answers, strange things happen slowly, we are in the middle of the film, apparently the devil is around the farm, slowly we will know if yes or no. but few will have the patience to reach the end and know, I took the trouble to do it, a certainty has arrived 10 is not the good rating for this slow movie, few actors have a few frisson scenes, and a beautiful photograph, the plot is tiring, the horror is having to wait 1.30am for nothing, just a nut consumed by the devil. deserves some points for photography and the performance of the girl.

Good grief. Been there, seen this, and done so much better. Waste of time and money

This will most likely go very under the radar even though it's more effective and well executed than any of the more recent critically acclaimed horror films of late. Its depraved visual style is in your face and really doesn't let up or let pretentious undertones drag it on. While it certainly has horror cliches, they're well presented and never seem cheap. The story is filled with tremendous grief and overbearing family stress and makes the blending of the paranormal horror aspects work that much better. Director Bryan Bertino has always had a keen eye for distinct details in his visual style, and isn't afraid to get vicious at times to compliment the outstanding tension build ups. It amazes me Bertino isn't more recognized because he's a great writer director that deftines you knows horror and atmosphere. Overall this film will be very hard for some to stomach, emotionally and visually, but it's one of the better horror films of the year and maybe last few. It's sheer depravity and how it's presented so effectively is hard to come by lately.

I'm sorry but this movie was terrible. It was just nothing but these little shock moments followed by slow, boring storyline that didn't even really make sense or even really matter. It just kept dragging on and on and the same things kept happening over and over again. The ending was absolutely a slap in the face. I'm sick of these shock and gore movies with no story and poor character development. If you liked the Saw franchise, you'll probably find this to be a good watch.

Well worth the watch, in the dark, with the sound cranked. Oscar nod for sound editing - my ****!!! Dont believe any hate... LONG time since a movie invoked unbridled, white knuckle terror. Solid 7.5/10 from this guy. Whew
