Though cheesy and illogical, this thriller has charming performances, and an exciting climax.

Wahlberg's creep-tastic slow-burn makes this predictable potboiler a little bit scary and a lot more entertaining.

The only thing scary about this film is watching Mark Wahlberg's career as an actor begin to dissipate.
