*Spoilers*



The suspense for the first bit was amazing, but just past the mid point, the peek-a-boo stuff was getting old. They seemed to be going for a toned-down 'matter-of-fact" feel for the psychos, which was a great idea, but they went all m night shyamalan by the end by making them too blase` about everything.

the truck pulling over and getting the pamphlet from the kids tried WAY too hard to be creepy, and it wasnt. And in the closing scene, the kids looked more like "what a mess" than "holy fuck, three dead people!"

And the closing Liv Tyler scream... gratuitous BOO! moment. made me jump, but annoyed me because ANYONE will scare you if they jump out and scream out of nowhere. its cool in a haunted house, annoying in a movie.

I liked it....Liv Tyler was stellar. The acting saved the movie - IMO.
