The story is simply confusing with silly jump-scream horror scares thrown in. If the camera would have just let Tomei take her own ride into acting dementia - without the side-shoe tricks of the children, the teacher, the Nannie, the neighbor (and his dog), etc... Could have been a much stronger movie if directed in a David Fincher "Fight Club" type of plot and reveal.
I would forget about the movie in its entirety however - if not for the hallucinogenic scenes that keep you guessing.
