Pretty OK movie...

It was merely okay... not scary though. And I prefer the original ending.

And the story was much better. Very creepy.

It started out well, the first half hour or so is really promising but it goes downhill pretty fast and the ending is crap. I wouldnt be quick to recommend it.

Yeah, i didn't think that it was fantastic, but i may hire it again just to refresh my memory of it. Maybe Samuel L Jackson should have said, " I dont know how many motherfuckin' times i have to say it , stay out of that motherfuckin' room!

Were there snakes in it? If not, he can't say that.

This movie was horrible. I've never seen Cusack give a bad performance until this movie. It was predictable, and cheesy.

I loved it, everyone else I know thought it was boring. I just watched it again tonight, I think it's the scariest idea I've seen in quite awhile. On second watch you really see how the room is tormenting him, toying with his emotions etc. I didn't see a problem with the ending, nobody escapes the room alive and when he thought the room would take his ex-wife too, he sacrificed himself. If you paid attention to the relationship he had with his father aswell as why he left his wife, the ending is important and makes perfect sense.

It might be too depressing for some people, I guess maybe it's boring if you don't like drama. It doesn't really have scares, but I'm more of a fan of scary stories.

Where was his performance cheesy?

I didn't find anything particularly terrible with the movie. I just found the absolute lack of tension and legitimate scares left me feeling bored.

I like Cusak but there was no saving the flick.
