What did everyone think of this one?

I really enjoyed this. Good story (much better than I would have expected from a movie about a pair of shoes), the acting was solid, and had some decent gore. It was a little too long though and a bit predictable. I give it a 4.

I never cared at all about the infidelity angle (watching a couple arguing is not my idea of entertainment and it's not something that endears me to them at all) and the plot is a little hokey, especially once it makes the assumption that she's been the killer all along, but agreed, the gore is great, it's atmospheric at the right moments and it never becomes unwatchable, so overall it's one of my favorite entries from the genre.
