My review-

Even though it was cool to see Radcliffe in something different then Harry Potter and it was able to show that he could do well in other movies, this should have not been the one. It was pretty good but not that scary. At times they had the moments where you would jump but that is about it. There even though it was only 95 minutes, it seemed like it was a lot longer than that, I think it is because there were some parts of the movie that would just drag on where it was really not doing anything to keep me engaged into it, One person I thought need a bigger part was Hinds, since he can act really well in some movies I thought that I needed a little bit more of him in the movie. I will admit Radcliffe did do a good job acting wise but I wish it would have been in a different movie.
