Awesome news.

I actually enjoyed this movie and will be picking it up on Blu

The first half of the film is terrific, but I think it goes a bit downhill after that. I'll probably get it though as I liked it pretty well.

I read on blu-ray.com that the unrated cut is only 2 minutes longer. I really hope it's an alternate ending.

Very cool horror movie. I will buy on Blu-Ray.

artwork added to OP.

Watched this one a few days ago...damn that DTS MA is excellent. Easily one of the best mixes I have heard all year on Blu-ray. If you want a good horror film on Blu-ray this year...GET THIS! Shame Universal only included fifteen minutes of special features though

A great premise with some shining moments (the lack of dialogue in many parts was fantastic and the No Country-esque lack of music in some scenes), but the degeneration into standard X-treme horror territory makes it collapse.

I agree on all counts. This would still make a pretty good rental for those who haven't seen it at all though.

Is this a decent blind buy?

I saw this in theaters and it didn't do much for me. It was just a lot of Liv Tyler running around and crying and then that violent ending. It was shot well but it wasn't even remotely scary in my opinion. Unless you are scared by a person in a goofy mask standing right in front of you one second and then not being there the next second, I would say rent this one first.

I really liked it, but I think I'd wait for a sale. There aren't any meaningful extras, and it's not something I really see myself watching again and again.
