Worst movie ever. So cheesy and predicable. Not even scary.

The book was outstanding! The movie sticks close to the story line. The trailers seem exciting and as intense as each page of this thriller. With a total of 503 pages, it only took me four nights t... o read it. You can't put this book down and it looks like you can't stay in your seat with this movie. Full Review

No better than a Twilight Zone episode. Really.

I just finished the book (which took me 2 days) and now i am watching the clips to see if i want to find the movie. I can already see that they changed what happened and to who so that may be confusin... g for the people who intend to go from movie to book. Awesome book,, couldn't put it down. Creepy and it makes you question some of the choices you made while traveling in foreign countries (or greatful to be back home safe) Full Review

I thought it was a fairly good movie, my wife read the book, didn't like it, but we went anyway. Actually, it was pretty scary, or gross, or both. It was definitely worth the money.
