Yes, I've seen it. And yes, it was quite good. The acting and dialogue are above average (it actually seems like you're hanging out with college students). As far as the much-hyped "fright factor" is concerned, I don't consider this a "horror" movie per se. There is almost no carnage (no one attacks zombies with a lawmower), no cleavage (not even revealing attire), no weapons, no quippy one-liners, and no kung-fu priests. This movie is really not cheezy at all, and relies heavily on you imagination to fill in the gaps. Also, if you have ever camped in a back woods forrest, this movie gets even spookier. Intelligent Horror Movie? Unfortunately, I made the mistake of seeing it on a friday night, so all the 17 year old flyguys and flygirls came out of the theatre saying either "Dude, that movie sucked" or "like, what was that all about?" Ack. Anyway, if you're into the indy/artfilm thing or the like, this one worth the couple bucks to see. -andrew $buy it$

Yes. It was OK. Not very scary. Worth seeing once. My vote for best movie of the year though, goes to , "Eyes Wide Shut!" Or else Hole, which was amazing also! :)
