#####

This was the first movie on I watched on Netflix's instant movie program (download and watch right on the computer screen). Perhpas not the right movie to have such a first.

This movie was eery and uncomfortable. I understand that was part of the point, but I never got to know or really care about any of the people...I was only glad that I didn't know them personally. We should have some sympathy/empathy for the young girl, but we don't she's extremely un-likeable. We understand why, perhaps, when we visit her parents and educators, but none-the-less, she, along with everyone around her, is just too un-likeable.

Avoid this movie like the 7th grade!
