This movie kept my attention all the way through, waiting to see what would happen. The only problem is that there wasn't any real lesson to be learned here, other than "don't have an affair", which should hardly need saying. What would have earned a higher score from me would have been to showcase some sort of syndrome or personality disorder and illustrate something about that. As it is, the villain doesn't seem to match anything. He acts like a psychopath some of the time, but shows some emotions which appear genuine at other times (and they occur when he's alone, so it isn't that he's faking them; he had no audience). He just appears to be a semi-generic Really Messed Up Person.
The acting is pretty good and the entire production is sufficient for a low-budget psycho-thriller. If you just need something to watch for an hour and a half, this will do. Just don't expect anything terribly deep from it in the end.

Figured I'd write one more review since there are only 2 so far. :-)
For a micro-budget movie, this is pretty good. All the acting is very natural; it really does feel like we're watching real people going through some actual creepy experiences. The way they handle things isn't strained or contrived. Each person has their own personality and each of them seems like someone I might encounter in real life. The minimal budget means there are no eye-popping effects (or other standard movie fare such as chase scenes or bloody violence), but it doesn't hurt the sense of immersion into the paranormal, thanks to the smart choice made by the movie makers to focus (a la "Blair Witch Project") mostly on the people and their emotions rather than the spookies.
Ultimately, I can't rate this as a great movie, but I can say that if you like creepy movies and you're in the mood for a cheap one set in modern suburbia, this one should entertain you.
