This has to be one of the worst films I've ever seen. Do not waste your time on this idiotic trash. The ending has to be the most revolting in film history, and I'm sure was only used to for its shock value since the film is that awful. Jennifer Lawrence supposedly kicked the script across the room after she first read it. She should never have picked it up again.

After reading the reviews of this film, I was excited to rent it. The first fifteen minutes were good, but the film went downhill from there. It was predictable, boring, and drawn out. The actors were very good even though the material wasn't. The film needed a complete rewrite, and a couple of the roles should have been recast while one character should have been eliminated all together. The film was not believable in any sense; you felt the writer was going out of their way to be politically correct: an interracial couple, a gay couple, an Asian couple, and a few other people all come together to attend the dinner party from hell. It was all covered in long, inane conversations between the characters while a disjointed plot attempted to pull it all together.

I shelled out almost twenty dollars to purchase this film because of the glowing reviews from the critics, and this film turned out to be a major disappointment. The film steals from every horror genre I could think of: "The Exorcist", "Poltergeist", "The Woman in Black", etc., but it doesn't succeed on any level. The first forty-five minutes are a boring back story build-up, while throughout the rest of the film I could predict when every apparition would appear or "jump out of your seat moment" (and you won't be jumping) was going to happen. It's not scary or even suspenseful. Don't waste your time unless you have ninety minutes to waste and expect nothing from it because it does not deliver.
