The acting was somewhat good but the book is where the entertainment is. I was unimpressed with the scare factor of the movie but the book was one of the scariest I have ever read. Also, to some people who didn't get the events that happened in the movie (such as flies coming out of the vent) read the book and it will make much more sense. The film was decent and some of the facts appeared to be somewhat accurate but it was nearly 100% commercialized and nothing more.

George A. gave it a7:
Not the best take on the story but it was watchable. slightly slow to start but once u get into it it realli isen't that bad. I have read the novel by Jay Anson’s and was intrigued about the whole subject and spent several hrs finding out all i could I dislike movies based on tragic events, however this film lets you know the basics and although personally i think it could have been filmed betta i think that it's always hard to produce films which u know will shock people especially when there is already a horrific and disturbing story to recreate as not much more has to be added to shock people. Overall a decent film in the end especially like the documentry on extras.

There are many questions that needed to be asked when you finish watching this movie. Like why is their dog named Hairy? They could've named it Lassie, except it wouldn't have made a big deal, seeing how the dog did absolutely nothing in the entire movie. How come a whole swarm flies just fly out of the vent in the movie, when it has absolutely nothing to do with the plot what so ever? Why is Ryan Reynolds such a bad actor in this movie? Why is the lead actress sooo hot, and is the only one that puts out an outstanding performance in this movie? It's really puzzling to me, why I wasted just over an hour watching this movie.

A fantastic remake of the original movie. I did'nt leave my seat cause i was afraid that i'd miss somthing.
