Saw this tonight at Odeon Covent Garden.

A very workman like thriller. Watchable but some very predictable 'don't go down the dark passage' and 'Do go down the passage' after you have called for help.

The film felt long and did not realise it only lasted about 90 mins. For me unfortunately no real tension.

6/10

Saw this in Sheffield someone turned off all the lights at about ten past six and people had to use lights on phones to find seats then lights came back on 5 minutes before the end.
I actually really enjoyed the film gripping from start to finish, I must be easily entertained and thought this was a 8/10

Nice and short so it didn't drag on, quirky but slightly unlikely ending and a few jumpy moments. We seen this at the new Vue at The Fort which even smelled new lol! 7/10 not the most original of plots but points for a good pace, Abigail Breslin was pretty believable and an extra point for the baddies squinty eye!

We quite liked this film and thought it was better than most of the ones we have seen lately. Started with good tense scenes of the 911 call centre and moved along at pace. The end however, well..... just seemed a bit lame to us. I did wonder what was going on with Ms Berry's hair.
So a 7.5/10

I loved this film, found it much better than expected, it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I do agree the end let it down a bit and Halle's haircut was strange, but overall I would give it 8/10 as one of my favourite thrillers this year.
