When I was in middle school, I read my first Stephen King novel (Carrie) and have been a fan of psychological thrillers ever since. I despise slasher/gore movies, so was pleasantly surprised that this movie wasn't the typical violent scary movie. Frankie Muniz was nerdy enough in the role to be believable as the main character working in a Stop N Go liquor store, with very little in the way of a life going on. The movie does leave you guessing at the end and does not tie it up in a neat little bow for you, which keeps you thinking about it long after the movie ends which I prefer and shows a bit more intelligence towards the story line.
