Okay but not great, 18 February 2004
Author: fantasmic1971 from USA

I just saw this film for the first time now. The film has a weird intro with the opening credits playing over pictures of unborn fetus's. That was a little uncomfortable to watch but I sat through the rest anyways.

It's a little slow at times, but all in all it's not too bad. The ending is a little over the top but can still give you chills.

If you've never seen it & you're a movie buff, sure...watch it. Otherwise, it's not really one for the young crowd.
