Thriller with a better plot

Having seen no previews for the movie, I opted to go with a group of friends, fully prepared for another ho-hum "thriller". What I got was an incredible plot that kept me guessing and second-guessing the "bad guy". Halle Berry was convincing throughout the movie; with a character that is practical and resourceful. The supporting cast members put very solid performances - the casting was amazingly well done.
The only issues I had with the film were a few scenes where the zooming in and spinning about in a "Blair Witch" like fashion; mercifully the style is used little and does tend to make the character a bit more believable. And like any other film, there are a couple of little flaws in logic that you just have to go "um, yeah, ok"
If you liked "The Others" or "The Sixth Sense", get your tickets now.
