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.

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?
