Hm, i really don't understand the rumor about the movie being funny... nice idea, somewhat scary, flat acting. overall rather disappointing.

Rob gave it a 2:
Extremely disturbing movie, do not recommend it for the squeamish, and I do not care what people tell me, I have yet to find anything in this movie "funny".

Jason M. gave it an 8:
Very funny yet suspenseful.
