There's a lot to like here. The movies does a great job of providing and maintaining suspense through act 1 and 2. Sadly, act 3 seems to fall on it's face a bit trying to get to a resolution. There's elements that seemed like they were cut or decided to be expanded that seemed to be an important tie-in to the end. The creepy basement with the husband and wife video - why was this not the method with which the lead learned to resolve the issue. It was there, the husband even indicating that he was recording info so that the 'next person' may not end with the same fate. Yet, it wasn't truly used to provide information the main character needed. Having the main character be forced back downstairs to seek needed information would have provided more suspense and a turning point. In the end, the resolution seemed to just sort of plop out there and lost it's suspense because it was really fast. It's really too bad, because up to then, everything was very methodical and had you on that edge you seek with this type of movie. It's still worth a watch, but it could have been much better.
