        A very good story...But the way they filmed it made this film a complete failure.

        Even Sarah Michelle Gellar's good looks cant save this movie from being boring!! I mean WTF there was nothing in this film! About a young woman that has nightmares and drawn to a farmhouse. Does that soiund interesting,yeah it does kinda. Buuuut wait!! They dont even give you ANY good scares, noooo good speical effects,nothing! The characters were so fucking flat,that I think a seven year old school boy could have done a better job. And what the hell Sarah why must you continue to make these piece of shit movies?? Makes no sense,how bad of taste does she have in movies anyhow?? There is nothing good I can say about this movie,except for maybe the ending. That was ok at best. Skip this movie unless you wanna cry yourself to sleep because you wasted 1.5 hours of your life!!
