Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman (who you might recognise from 'Underworld') are supposed to be spending some 'quality time' together at their holiday home. However, things don't get off to a brilliant start and when 3 masked visitors turn up, it just goes from bad to worse. Our Liv does a good job of making you feel scared and there's a really tense moment where she is basically playing hide and seek with these nutters - my heart was pounding! Overall, reasonably scary with good acting but not a very involved plot so don't watch this one if you like a good story! SECOND OPINION: Well, right up the the very end I was hopeful this film would pull something out the bag. That it would take a turn and go somewhere dark and surprising. It rambles along with, admittedly, a few good scares, but just when it should be cranking it up a notch, it runs dry. It ended up a poor mans Funny Games, and I ended up a fan of neither. It's not as clever or twisted as Funny Games yet it somehow manages to be more pointless. Go figure.
