If ONLY I had bothered to look this flick up on IMDb before buying it On Demand, I could have saved myself $3.95 and 11 minutes I'll never get back....that's how long I watched before being nearly overwhelmed by a compulsion to pluck out my eyes and slam them in a hardcover edition of War and Peace to ease my pain and heighten my entertainment.

I am a true crime buff, so I took a chance on this one.... lesson learned.

Of COURSE when I started to read the comments on IMDb, the first thing I read was "Don't say I didn't warn you".... you did, it was just my bad timing...

this movie FAILS.... i mean, it's an offense to any viewer, whether you're into true crime, thrillers, acting, cinematography, directing-it's a non-discriminating disappointment for all.... the set design is pretty bland, so at least that's not AWFUL....

I'm still trying to watch it, but only because I haven't yet decided what to watch instead...

this film is DREADFUL. I haven't felt this betrayed by a movie since the Black Dahlia. and THAT was a betrayal of biblical proportions...

why do movies with scary water situations always scare the crap out of

me? and there's a really creepy kid too - they're always effective a

la Children of the Corn, The Bad Seed, etc....

...this movie is totally worth watching..and omigod the non-spooky

kid is so absolutely adorable that i just want to put her on a

key ring and take her everywhere with me...

(what's up with this 10-line minimum? it just encourages people to babble pseudoauthoritatively about their film philosophies and their knowledge of genre and style as well as to question the integrity of every filmmaker, director, writer, and actor that crosses their paths- hubris, all hubris)
