This was really tired. So disappointing. And don't get me started on the final twist of the movie. Terrible.

I like the lore, the background. Well crafted movie, scares you in a way that's more real than slasher etc.

A fitting start of my love affair with Kate Hudson. She is awesome in this movie (she's not even the best actor in the film) but boy does the script and the editing fail her. I've seen nearly everything she's done hoping for something that matches her allure, a search that's turned up mostly disappointment. The Killer Inside Me finally gave her something to work with.
