Average viewer score of 6.5/10 from 2,505 ratings.
Surprisingly fun! I really like this movie. It has good tension and builds its antagonist up really well, without tipping its hand too much. The characters are engaging and the right amount of annoying, and you are swept up with them in their search, which leads them to a very scary and satisfying conclusion. It is one of the sleeper-movies that I didn't expect to be as good as it was. I recommend it.
