OK, there might be some flaws in the acting/directing and somehow the end could have been more surprising, but yet it's better than most of the movies we're used to see nowadays.
It reminds me a lot of The hand that rocks the craddle.
Nicolas Cage is under-exploited (he looks more and more like John Cusack, or is it just me?) and quite slow. I don't see the point of hiring him for such a bland part, that any C-rated actor could have performed.
Nicky Whelan overplays it (ok, she's way better-looking than Glenn Close, but not as spooky as she was in Fatal Attraction, sorry dear).
The twist, not so twisted but it does the job.
So I will give it an 8 for effort + the entertainment + suspense + the fact that I wanted to see it till the end (most movies I don't, or fast-play them).
