This wasn't a bad film. It did have some moments that were obviously low-budget or otherwise ill-contrived. (For instance, the implausibly fast decay rate--even with the face removed, a covered head won't be reduced to a skull in under a week.) It did manage to deliver the shudders, and I don't scare easily.
That said, the film is clearly *not* the original idea that some people have suggested. It's extremely similar to "Dark Corners", the one with Thora Birch. It's less confusing than that movie, but mostly because the "this is someone's afterlife in hell" message is drummed into your skull. I found myself hoping that something else was going on--perhaps a much uglier afterlife where Claire really does have to relive her own death repeatedly--just so it would be something new.
