Saw this last night and wasn't expecting much just the same cliche stuff, which it was actually.
Probably spoilers so don't read on.
It starts with Halle Berry with her crap hair talking to Penelope Cruz blah blah oh she's a super mental patient doctor. Then you see her kiss a big, big fat man who's meant to be her husband. Then another doctor who wants to hump Halle is introduced.
Then a few pointless scenes with cliche scary darkness is thrown in. Ooooohohoh the mental home is the middle of the woods, the electricity is poor so lights flicker all the time. Halle Berry likes to type in the dark with only lighting to aid her eyes. But there's more she decides to swim in the dark.... oooh scary and pointless.
Then she drives home, more scary camera work of her driving alone in dark. She then goes home different way, sees a shaking dead girl like the one in The Ring, which actually does give me the creeps but still.
Blah Blah Blah
Now she's a patient in the hospital but she can't remember. She chops up her husband and diagnoses herself.
Still gets a bit naff from here but picks up a bit later on. More cliche scary shots and scary dead girls. I'm bored talking about it now.
Conclusion: Alright attempt at a scary film. Far too cliche though and takes bits from Sixth Sense and The Ring. It was good and though cliche had me scared a bit. Too many loose questions though, like how she is freed at the end even though she chopped up her husband, possessed or not.
Rating: 6/10

Because apart from being Weathergirl in the X-Men movies, she seems to be the female equivalent of C Thomas Howell.

You were invited, quit yer whining biatch. Anyway, I would have rather stayed at home in silence than have watched it, so it's 1-0 to you.

That's what I said
And she mangled the policeman with the tatoo

***SPOILER****
***YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED****
I was miffed at the end. Halle Berry's character surely wasn't acting in self-defence at the time of her husband's murder, so why was she free at the end?
Am I missing something here or is Hollywood pandering around again?

The guards in this movie make Dr Evil's inept henchmen look like super-intelligent spies. She's in the swimming pool, you assmunch!

OK, I saw the trailer and was rather intriuged.
It's worth a watch yeah, just nothing amazing.
Worth a watch? Or is there anything else that I should be seeing before it?
