i just want to say first that i think that a lot of the people giving this movie a bad review are people that are used to see the same crap over and over again. This movie is excellent, it is what a "horror" should be. the suspense is crazy. i don't want to give anything away but the way the "strangers" behave towards the couple is what scares me. they just don't care. i think that if you enjoy movies that are made from the heart(it sounds terrible i know)and are made because the writer/director/producer sometimes even the actors want to make the movie for themselves not just because they want to make tons of money. i heard that a sequel has been given the go ahead and i am looking forward to it, i just hope that it is done in a way that doesn't ruins this movie.like so many sequels do.
