I can understand the "It was really disturbing etc..." argument, but I just wasn't impressed. In fact, I was quite bored.
I haven't seen it in over 4 years though, so mayble i'll give it another go.
You must realize though, that I wouldn't have been so disappointed had the film not been praised with such high regard.

I realize now what this thread should have been called, 8 'Disappointing' films. I did a similar search of the most highly regarded horror films, and the films I mentioned popped up over and over again. When you sit down to watch a film of this type and it turns out to be not so great (or downright awful) you can't help but feel a little cheated.
