Firstly, I agree with another reviewer, please try to not critically analyse a horror movie too much or there will never be a rating over 4.
Secondly, This is a very sound film, nervy, tense, suspenseful, with a good cast, script and production. It kept me relatively on the edge of my seat throughout the film. Yes it may have been a little predictable, but aren't most films these days. As it happens i really enjoyed this horror movie, Jessica Alba is obviously the stand out, but pretty much the whole cast puts in a decent effort.
The movie plays like it is based on a true story, i don't know whether or not this is the case, but the fact it plays like this adds to the scare factor. Usually the more fact based a horror is the more it can creep you out.
Anyway, its a good film, don't be put off by the naysayers and give it a shot. I gave it an inflated 8, as its in a genre where there is so few half decent films about.
