Loved it! Damn, that little girl is creepy. Those ice cold eyes. Couldn't figure out why the kid and her dad would move way out in the country into a huge house, big enough for a family of 10. Suspenseful to the end. All the characters seemed creepy. The ending is very twisted. I'd recommend this film, and will give it 4 stars out of 5. [thumbsup]

I thought this movie was great, the girl is very creepy. She remined me of the girl on Beetlejuice.

Decent, until the cliche, silly ending.

SPOILERS BELOW: BEWARE!!!

I didn't have a problem with who Charlie was, but how Charlie finally got it in the end. I mean, c'mon, a fairly intelligent script and they end it with a gun. I could have thought of that one.

I did, however, like the score by John Ottman. Sounded very Danny Elfman-eque.

Great Movie

Dakota Fanning is very talented. Great performances by all.

Kinda funny to see two DeNiro movies next to each other though.

Richard try three Hoffman films next too each other...along with two DeNiro films

Not bad. I agree with Aaron about the ending, though.

DeNiro is a whore. He'll do anything for a buck. Nowadays he is in lots and lots of crappy films. I am truly sick of Robert DeNiro. Hopefully he will die soon and the world will rejoice.

Personally I didn't really enjoy how DeNiro played the part. It seemed forced and not very geniuine.

***Possible spoilers***
I thought it was good, but it seemed obvious who was the nutty one was about half way through.

Any one else notice a startling resemblance to Secret Window and Identity?
