I agree with Dark Wanderer and disagree with Alex and Dragondack on this one.
And as the plot has already been mentioned I can say a bit more about the movie.
I liked the story as it was happening, that being said I would like it a lot more without the shaky-cam.
The monster is the cause of events but the story is about a relationship. By keeping it simple and focusing on the relationship it's actually really easy to suspend disbelief and accept there really is a monster running around.
All that aside this is one of those movies you will have to see for yourself to decide.
Just after the end of the movie I felt unsatisfied, now I think that has more to do with the fact that Hollyweird has trained us to like formula stories too much.
