Can i give this zero stars? Clearly no one who wrote this disaster of a movie was alive in 1988. Not gen x dialogue at all... Which is fine, but if you're going to set something in 1988, do some research about how people looked and acted. The entire movie was horrible and a complete waste of time. It was just a giant mess.... People being slaughtered for no apparent reason, no character development. Even for a horror movie, it was exceptionally bad.

Terrible movie... First of all, it's incredibly stupid and unbelievable. After she makes a miraculous escape from a rapist, she then proceeds to leave her door unlocked so he can just walk right. Then when she finally gets the upper hand, instead of killing him and claiming self-defense, she decides to turn the tables on him. And her stupid roommates come home and somewhat take his side, which was insane and ridiculous and would never happen. I hate when Hollywood portrays women in this manner. It would never happen. Don't waste your time. It's an awful movie. The women make such stupid decisions, it makes you dislike them almost as much as the rapist. Grrrr

Total waste of time ... Not scary, totally predictable. In fact, the title of the short gives the ending away. No plot twists. At least it was only 16 minutes of my life.

Super boring, very plodding plotline. Lack of character development, not scary at all. The baby cries constantly. The husband doesn't seem to realize that she has severe postpartum depression and is continually just missing what she's trying to tell him. Every time the baby screams, he brings it over to her to take care of. Pretty much pointless. The ghost aspect is almost zero and when it does occur, not at all frightening.

I know many critics and naysayers have likened it to Suspicion and Gaslight, which are not unfair comparisons. Many say that Stanwyck gave a distracted performance and Bogart's was over the top. I concede the merit in those arguments, but nonetheless, it remains one of my absolute favorite classic movies. While it's not much of a mystery since his intent is fairly obvious from the outset, the atmosphere and build up make up for any deficits, in my opinion. Bogart may be over the top, but his performance is menacing and creepy, and I'm terrified of him right away. It put me in mind of another great vehicle of his, Conflict, which I also recommend. The only downside for me was the daughter. Her extremely articulate and overblown adult caricature is overblown and somewhat creepy. I thought the picture could have done without her entirely. Great atmosphere, amazing setting, wonderful... Albeit predictable... build-up, and just a really fun film. I watch this movie a couple times a year. Go in with baseline expectations and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

If you're a fan of the horror genre, you're no stranger to downright horrible movies. However, this one hit a new low. It was one of the most drawn out, boring, just plain awful movies I have ever sat through. I know there are bad movies that you can enjoy. If you like horror movies, you probably like some bad ones because they're fun or campy or nostalgic. Trust me, skip this one. I'm completely amazed anyone gave this a good review. I'm fairly easily entertained and this was a huge snoozefest. I can't believe they're actually discussing a sequel. I'll take a hard pass on that one.

Bring back Neve Campbell. The original was awesome... This one sucked overall. So obvious who killers were. Lost charm of original. I waited until this one came out.... Refuse to pay without Sydney's character.

In my opinion, the movie was a giant disappointment. Slow moving and disjointed, with a weak plot. The character of OJ is maddeningly slow and seems somewhat dimwitted. His sister is aggravating and over the top. They grew up on a ranch so I'm unsure why they're having her act so urban.... Surprisingly, it seems like they're playing into stereotypes. I really enjoyed Get Out, but I had trouble hanging in for this one. The first hour was interminable. It lacks suspense, and I'm glad I didn't waste money seeing it in theaters.

I see why the 1944 version is the gold standard. I thought the acting was wooden and I did not like the way they set up the entire storyline. In my opinion, the 1944 version is vastly superior in every way. I had high hopes for the movie, but I was already disappointed the first half hour. In my opinion, it went downhill from there. It lacked the subtlety and build up of the predecessor. It's worth watching, but I was very surprised to read that other people preferred it.
