    Ok, so I saw this last night and am on the fence about it. As much as I enjoyed John Cusack's wonderful performance, the whole thing puzzled me. I'm still not quite sure what was happening there at the end. Still an entertaining popcorn flick. 7/10 thoughts?

    One of the few good 07 horror movies.
    Which ending did you see? I've only seen one, and from what it sounds, I saw the best ending.

    It was good.

    I seen the ending where he survives, which is lame.

    SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!

    I saw the ending where he dies, but I didn't really understand the last part with Sam Jackson in the car. He told Cusack's wife that the room was safe and could be reopened.....BUT then he's sees the ghost in the car. And we cut to Cusack in the room. Does that mean no matter what you do or how you try to destroy it, the room will always be haunted???? I was confused by the ending.

    That's the one I saw. The other one seems to be gay and Hollywoody.

    Not really scary, just kind of jolting at times. But yeah, I thought it was really good, John Cusack's a great actor, it's been a few years since he had such an exclusive role. I saw the ending that was in theaters, is it worth renting to see the others?

    Also, it was one of those PG-13 horror movies where it didn't feel like they were really struggling for the PG-13 instead of prospering from an R rating, like in Live Free or Die Hard.

    *SPOILERS*

    The theatrical ending is the one where they both hear their daughter's voice on the tape.

    Am I the only one who thought this movie was boring? The ending was cool, but I almost fell asleep in the theatre. Meanwhile, my friend was jumping every 10 seconds. I don't get it?

    In the Short Story he does survive, except he just lights himself on fire and the room lets him out, some guy dumps his bucket of ice on him to put it out. There's none of that dead daughter shit in the story either, and it only mentions that him and his wife are split and that's all on the matter. There aren't that many similarities between the Short Story and the film.

    I thought the movier was ok. I felt it could have been better though. I thought samuel l jackson said the room was could never be opened again. I must have miss heard him.

    One of the few good PG-13 horror movies these days. I just wish that crazy guy with the hook was around longer...

    The storyline was pretty good and John rocked. I'd give it a 7/10.
