Here's the trailer:
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809775079/video/6921168

I think it looks pretttttty freaky.

Anyone know anything about the "true events" it is based on?

I saw the preview for it at Doomsday, it looked alright

White masks make people scarier for some reason, from Jason to Jigsaw to those splicers in Bioshock to these guys

ohhh freaky....It seems like one of those *hold your breath* type movies where those people jump out. And i don't like that girl in the white mask swinging on the swing. Just freaks me out.
Maybe catch it on dvd if i'm in the mood for a scary movie, which i never am!

My beau wants to see it in theaters. I hate it because then I can't sit on my feet! Having my legs dangle during a scary movie freaks me out.

I will see this movie. It looks like the first real scary in a looooooooong time (I haven't seen "The Orphanage").

I so sick of the torture porn flick that are being called horror. That shit isn't scary, it's just gross.

"On April 11, 1981, at the Keddie Resort, three grisly murders were committed in cabin #28. Glenna Sharp, 36, her 15 year old son John and 17 year old family friend Dana Wingate were bludgeoned and stabbed by assailants still unidentified. Sharp's 13 year old daughter Tina was missing from the scene when the bodies were discovered by 14 year old Sheila Sharp the following morning. Sheila had been spending the night with a friend. Glenna Sharp's two youngest boys and another boy, toddlers at the time, had been spared and were found safe in another room of the cabin. Ultimately, Tina Sharp's remains were discovered three years later when a bottle digger found parts of her remains 95 miles away near a water fall. In the years following the murders the Keddie Resort fell into disrepair and most buildings were condemned. Many around the area talked of the cabin being haunted. Cabin #28 was eventually razed in the summer of 2004, either to deter ghost hunters or to make way for a new generation of Keddie Resort buildings. The case remains unsolved"

Actually there's like 5 if you include the murderers, but if the movie was based on that event then the 2 heroes likely died.

so has anyone actually seen it yet? i hate scary movies and i change the channel everytime the commercials come on. but i'm curious. i guess i should say i have a love/hate relationship with scary movies. i only like the ones that can actually scare me, but then i hate seeing them because i'm scared for 38297349 years.

Movies like this just seem to rely on loud noises

Hopefully I'm wrong, could be a fun movie to watch at home in the dark

ill probably see it just for the creepy factor. most scary movies i just laugh at cause they try too hard. the shining is one of the very few movies that freaked me out just for the uneasy/weird factor. this one hopefully would have something creepy about it since its just fucked up people terrorizing the two characters rather than some silly cavepeople or nuclear wasteland/west virginia looking goons killing random folks.

it was ok.

It gets a bit tedious at times, and the ending was really weak.

4^ The Orphanage isn't a horror movie. It is a ghost story (although that may be debatable) but not really scary or horror-ish at all. At least I didn't think so. It's a pretty decent watch, but you will be disappointed if you go into it expecting "the scurry."

so i went tonight amidst the HORDES AND HORDES of sex and the city goers, my god!

so I'm sitting there by myself with my drink, foot on the rail in the 2nd row all comfy and the place starts filling up. these two girls, loud as fuck, walk around like 15 minutes into the movie "OMG ARE THERE 2 SEATS ON THIS ROW OMG ITS SO CROWDED"

so after walking up and down the stairs and yelling down the aisles, they spot the empty seats on either side of me and they make me scoot over and i end up sitting next to them. fucking nightmare.
First thing she says to me is "what's happening what's going on?!"
and then it's
"GIRL DONT YOU GO OUT THAT DOOR!"
"OMG GIRL PUT SOME SHOES ON!"
"GIRL YOU BETTER GET YOU A WEAPON!"
"WHY THE FUCK DID SHE TRIP WHAT HAPPENED"
*her cell rings* "HELLO?! HELLO! YEAH I'M IN A MOVIE, HOLE ON I CANT TALK IN HERE I'M IN A MOVIE"
"Imma need some popcorn to watch this shit, watch my purse"
various screams of terror

thankyou, whoever you were, for ruining the movie for me.

yeah in retrospect i should have said something but i really didn't want to get into a screaming match with two chicks in a theater

I thought it was pretty good it's a suspense make-you-jump kinda movie but not too corny. Some of the things liv tyler and the other guy do doesn't make a whole lot of sense and you're kinda like wtf are they doing?! no!! but that's kinda typical of scary movies anyway.

I actually liked how it was filmed, that was different. Has that kinda grainy look to it and some interesting arrangements and camera angles. Also the music was weird and creepy but kinda neat (on the record player).

I give it a B (going on a +/- scale).
Fun to go to and see but i won't be buying it and probably won't see it again.
