I watched this recently, a fantastic picture aside from one or two things which have already been mentioned.
Here is a very interesting interview with the director. Beware, it has tons of spoilers and information on the backstory, not to mention explanations of a few things that totally changes an aspect of the film which the director intended (since it was originally in the book), but wasn't totally dived into in the film itself:

Wow. Finally
makes sense. I saw this a second time this weekend with my younger, Twilight-obsessed sister. She really liked it.
There's a lot of stuff I missed the first time but this movie also seems slightly slower the second time around.

Well about that spoiler (and the one in the interview) - that really was one of the weirdest scenes in the movie - totally removed any real sexual tension that was present from earlier - ie bed scene.

Yeah, the cats are terrible.
I love kids. There is something really genuine about the way kids interact and regard one another, all expressed in silences when they're just looking at one another or observing an event. It's hard to know what goes into their decision making processes, but that was at the heart of what I loved about both this and Slumdog Millionaire, watching kids interact.

I watched this a few days ago and it's been growing on me ever since.
As others have mentioned, the actress who played Eli gave a great performance.
And the ending is perfect.
There were a few scenes that didn't really work, but overall this was a really fantastic film and one I plan to revisit in the near future.

Caught it tonight in Pasadena to a pretty full audience. Thought it was great. Some scenes went a little off, but I still thought it was a really well-rounded movie.

They have been showing it at the Angelika (downtown houston) for a couple weeks now, but it's probably going to be gone after thursday since there is only a 10:15pm show.

I'm extremely late to this party as I just caught the flick last night.
Despite the cat scene (ugh) as already mentioned, this is the best horror film of the year. I love films that make the audience question what they just saw and the questions that my friends and I were bringing up right afterwards really drove home what kind of film we just witnessed.
As already mentioned in the thread, but with a twist...

Wait...
That adds a whole other level of creepiness to the story. The more I think about it, the more I like this film, and I'd put it on my top 10 list for the year.

I loved this. I even liked the cat scenes and that whole subplot... it reminded me of 70s/early 80s Dario Argento.
