Why did people stay away ?

I went with my younger sister for the sole purpose to see the lovely Katie Holmes.  I didn't expect much.  But trash, the movie was not.  I was very impressed with the story, the acting, the Hitchcock-like suspense, and the turn that occurred at the end.  My favorite part was the library scene with the eyes behind the bookshelf.  A big stepping-stone for Katie Holmes, who I think will continue to get starring roles and turn into a Natalie Wood like star.  She is both beautiful and a good actress.  This film is definitely a renter, and should have been better accepted when it was released, critic-wise and box office-wise.  *** out of ****.  Watch it and enjoy.
