Wow. I can't believe it's coming out in two weeks... <i>November 7th</i>. I'm a huge fan of the book... and I think this movie is going to do it justice.

(Especially seeing the 'R' rating... which I think it deserves. The book gave me goosebumps for a week.)

For people who might be curious: the book (and probably movie) has some religious undertones... but please don't dismiss it because of this. It's just a great story, if nothing else, and definitely one of the creepiest...

Anyone else going to try to catch it in theatres?

So I totally thought this was about House the TV show, and I was about to flip my sheet. Nevermind

Lol. That's what I thought as well. *sigh* That would've been too good to be true.

I haven't heard of this book or the movie. It looks rather scary to me.

Haha, <i>now</i> I know where all the views are coming from... you crazy House addicts!

Yes, it's going to be very scary I imagine. I shall have to go see it with someone willing to hold my hand... seeing as was practically sitting in the lap of the guy next to me throughout <i>King Kong</i>, which is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

You've got me intrigued, FM. What exactly is this book/movie about?

I've heard of the book. It was co-written by Frank Perettie, right? I read one of his other books (The Oath) and it was fantastic...and chilling.

I probably won't see the movie, because I'm more into reading horror then watching it. And I'm not allowed to watche rated R movies. XD

Well, Lar, to sum it up as short as possible...

Four innocent bystanders are trapped in a weird house with a madman/serial killer/demented freak. He plays a lot of mind games with them and scares them all out of their wits. He tells them that if they pick one person among them and kill him/her, then he will let the rest of them live.

As if this isn't bad enough, the house is absolutely wack, and is full of all kinds of bone-chilling oddities. Until one character realizes that the house is merely a reflection of whatever is on the inside of their hearts...

Very interesting. Yeah, Saffron, I read The Oath too... very good, but actually not half as freaky as House. ^.^

I have actually heard of the book, and I really am interested in the movie.

I thought the book was pretty good, but it had more Peretti elements that Dekker, like the evil is inside of you and such. I'm more of a Dekker girl. I won't be seeing the movie because I can't watch R movies, and I'd have a heart attack if I watched a horror movie. lol I know I can't stomach it. I'm anxious to hear what you guys think about it, though! It looks really creepy...
