Synopsis:

• Poster: B-

Review:

Stylistic approach to voyeurism, but it doesn't fit within the framework of the film's theme.

• Trailer: B-; C

Review:

Looking like a blend of The Grudge, The Strangers and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, this movie doesn't seem to have enough originality left to be interesting.

This second trailer makes the film look amateurish and silly, but it does slough off some of the impressions that it's just a retread of the aforementioned films. Instead, it looks like an off-the-rack horror flick without much spirit.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• January 30, 2009
