Rob Pattinson 1: attractive 2: talented actor. This movie was okay, it had me at the edge of my seat (like a good thriller should).FLAWS: 1-I have a huge Arachnophobia so I didn't like the spiders. 2-The slow beginning and confusing storyline 3-The crappy ending! Okay, so Julia was cheating on Toby with Hal, he trusted both of them, and Toby's paralyzed so he cant get up and stab the dirtbag that put his hands on her, but did he REALLY need to kill her?! (to be honest i loved Julia's death scene, needed more blood though) If Hal really loved Julia he wouldn't have stood there staring while Toby killed Julia!! The could have done better!!

What an awful movie!! I could barely manage to watch it for the hour it lasted — any longer and it would've been off.Low-budget I can handle. Weak supporting performances, poor special effects, bad editing… OK, fine. But there is no way to get past a film that is painstakingly slow, boring, and completely lacking a plot (or even an explanation)! Nothing happened! I watched the whole thing and still couldn't really say what it was about. Basically it's a guy who's scared of the shadows. Is he crazy? Why is he in a mental hospital? Is he imagining the spiders and the moving shadows? Who knows — or, more importantly, who cares? Sorry, but a slightly moving shadow on the floor in the middle of the night means nothing, especially when the curtains are open; it's probably just a branch moving outside the window.Robert Pattinson is attractive as ever and turns in a pretty good performance, but there was no way he could salvage this piece of crap.My response in a nutshell: yeah, it was only an hour lost…but I can think of so many better and more interesting things I could have done in that hour. Like, the dishes.

Toby Jugg, an Airman, is sent to a convalescent home to recuperate from wounds suffered in the War. He slowly loses his mind in the home.I took this DVD out because of Robert Pattinson who was great in TWILIGHT (also a great movie) and he was a Vampire. His picture on the box looked like he might be a Vampire. I watched the movie and kept waiting for the Vampire within him to emerge. Before you start in on me, consider how Mr. Pattinson was made up to look on the box. Like a Vampire, right? Same with the movie. He still looked like a Vampire considering the make-up, the dark scenes and hesitant dialogue. I waited in vain. Boo Hoo.The movie lacked tension, suspense and should have had more paranormal stuff sprinkled around. All the dark scenes and black birds didn't contribute anything toward anything scary or any suspense. The acting by all was fine and included another range for Mr. Pattinson. Actually, the whole story was kind of boring, draggy and the relationships with his Dr. Burns (Sands) and his aunt Julia (Stirling) were not well defined and all was left to our imagination. Hmmmm, now we have to work at things…….Besides this not being a Vampire movie, was there anything else that didn't seem right? Why yes, glad you asked. Toby is in a wheel chair all the time and we see him on the first floor of a mansion-like house. We also see him on the 3rd floor. How did he get from one floor to another? I saw no ramps or an elevator. And, I felt I was misled into thinking this was a Vampire movie -- Probably because of the success of TWILIGHT, and his picture on the DVD box. I am sure all that was intentional. Am positive. I better start reading the DVD boxes from now on. Where do you go to find a good Vampire movie these days? Guess I have to wait for TWILIGHT 2. Violence: Yes. Mostly war stuff, bombings; and something else at the end. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.

Congratulations to anyone in the movie, television and media industry. Full praise to those who make the effort of assembling movies and keeping us entertained. I will not be-little those who make the effort and in this case i wonder what happened with the writer's and why would the executive's afford such garbage these past years?? It is arduous to find money and quite troubling to see persons in the industry blow so much involved time & work on such drivel. This title was painful, slow & detached from both reality and the audience. Once again the original author of the book was denied his glory. This tripe was far from paranormal and offered no real pleasure. As and artist i give this one a 2 of 10. For those who worked hard to be let down again i should consider your opinions with much sorrow.Thanks
