Going to see this at the artsy theater in DC this weekend... has anyone seen it? Been getting some good reviews on aint-it-cool and rotten tomatoes.

Ok, has anyone else seen this? I'm pretty surprised that this hasn't gotten more attention here, especially considering the attention that Pan's Labrynth got.

Anyone, I'm trying to decide between this and There Will Be Blood. Suggestions? Any more info on this film?

I did see it and there are some scary parts. Probably better for a rental than the theater.

This looks kind of mediocre. You should NOT be considering going to this over There Will Be Blood. See There Will Be Blood. Everyone should go see There Will Be Blood.

This is NOT better than The Others. The Others is a superior ghost story in that it wraps the film in mystery (where ghost stories belong) and succeeds with its limited use of scare tactics.

The Orphanage is good though but the exact opposite
