I'm glad you liked the review, and the movie enough to see it three times! I think i might have been up for a repeat viewing, had I someone to hold my hand during it. Like I said, horror movies aren't my thing and that's because I suspend my disbelief rather hard. Hope you weren't alone for the viewings and that there was enough popcorn! Oh, and yeah, Ackles was terrific in this role!!! Hey, thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the review, and the movie enough to see it three times!

Personally, I'd pay money for another ticket if I could find a local theater that actually played it in 3-D. Not to mention someone to hold my hand during the scary bits!

And it's the end that gets me - that cold mad stare Jensen gives the camera as Tom outwits the police. Oh MAN... is it so wrong I love that stare? Oh well, like the song says - if loving you is wrong I don't want to be right.... I've seen this movie three times (I know – obessive much?)

It was almost something I couldn't put my finger on, yet the more I thought about it, and started writing about it, I was certain it was him. I'm still waiting for someone to come by and tell me, in no uncertain terms, that it was a body double the ENTIRE time, and rend my whole beautiful theory to shreds. And ditto that, didn't ruin a thing - he was fun to watch and entertaining and, most of all, convincing in the role. May he have many more opportunities! Isn't that funny?

It made me remember it so vividly! And you put into words how I knew the bad guy was Jensen - by now, I recognize his body, how he moves, etc. But it didn't ruin the movie for me at all, I still enjoyed it. My pleasure :)

You made me laugh, 'cause yeah, of COURSE Ackles would look hot in ANY dimension!! And I feel fairly confident that he could do any movie he wanted, provided he had the schedule that would accommodate it. I'm sure there's loads he's turned down because of his commitment to Supernatural. Thank you! You made me laugh, 'cause yeah, of COURSE Ackles would look hot in ANY dimension!!

Supernatural has opened my eyes, too, as to the horror genre; I can kind of see where the pleasure is. Kind of. : D Axel, Alex, oh boy. Too dark to take notes in the theater; honestly thought the slut was the same one. Thanks for the update! I don't know how much Ackles spent in the costume, but he must have spent at least a little time, even if only for material for the preview, because those shoulders were the first thing I thought of. And actually? If I got the chance? I'd love to see this one in 3-D just to see what the fuss is about. Hey, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Jensen looks so hot in that dimension! There were only a few others at my screening, given it was a matinee, but that didn't bother me. I didn't hide behind my hands. I loved every minute of the kills, the nudity (I laughed), Jensen's fantastic performance (he was the only decent actor in the movie), and the denouement (will there be a sequel)? I hope it does decently enough so that, if Jensen wants to do another one, he can. Great review, Syl! Love, Robin I had a blast watching this flick, Syl, and I saw it in glorious 3D.

I don't like horror films either (though Supernatural has allowed me to manage them a little better). I quite enjoyed it, and it was funny (I hope intentionally so) in a few areas. I've seen it twice, both in 3D, and it was quite stunning. Jensen mentioned in an interview that he'd like to see everything like this, and I agree. Just imagine seeing Supernatural in 3D! I sat in the back for the second one though, and it looked a lot more flat (though my friend and I enjoyed the story more the second time, if not the effects). A couple of corrections though, if I may. Tom's nemesis was Axel, not Alex (though I definitely like "Alex" better). Slutty Megan (Axel's paramour) wasn't at the original mine party (that was Irene, who was later naked and then dead). I'm curious though, how much time Jensen spent in the miner's getup. I heard an interview with Chris Carnel, who had some nice things to say about Jensen, btw, about what a great guy he was, as well as a great actor. Anyway, he played the miner and mentioned how claustrophobic it was in the suit. He's a slim guy too, though a bit shorter than Jensen. :) I enjoyed your review too, Sylvia.

Excellent review, Sylvia - I'm on my way out to see it for the THIRD TIME tonite. Yes, I'm obsessed. The intensity of the part near the end when Jensen, as Tom, comes down the tunnel toward Axel and Sarah, smashing the lights with his pickaxe, one by one was just amazingly hot and worth the price of admission, right there. Great recount of the high points of the plot, and spot-on description of the way Jensen uses his face to convey his inner turmoil and transitions. Whee!
