Now I know why I didn't bother seeing it in theatres. After the first several minutes I got a really bad headache from the shaky camera movements. Every time the action started to pick up the camera "suddenly" gives out like the person dropped it, a sign of the films extremely low budget. All you get to watch is shaky camera shots of up close face, butt shots and most of all ground shots throughout the movie. VERY POOR ACTING. The only descent special effect was the Statue Of Liberty head flying down into the street and even then it was quite obvious that it COMPLETELY out of scale. People were standing next to it and were just as tall as the head. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME TO WATCH. I stopped it half way through. The back says "FRIGHTENING". I say bulls$#t. You can get scared better with an old horror flick like Friday 13th or Chucky.
What's great about it: UHMMMMMMMMMM---NONE
What's not so great: EXTREME MOTION SICKNESS AND A BAD HEADACHE

After careful research I found that half of the reviews said the same thing about how this product breaks. But I decide to give Hoover the benefit of the doubt. They do make great vacuums but as far as carpet cleaners Hoover (pardon the pun) SUCKS!
After just a single use my Hoover carpet cleaner began to leak water back onto the carpet both from the dirty water tank, clean tank, AND the detergent bottle.
As I began to remove the dirty water tank the tank SPLIT!!! and water water everywhere. The latches locking the dirty tank in place also broke. The spin brushes don't spin nearly fast enough or make sufficient contact with the carpet to agitate the fibers thoroughly. All the same problems I had were just like the other reviewers described and with the same exact parts in the same place.
Needless to say I was furious! I just paid $300 for this thing and it couldn't even last through a single use!! YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND ALL HOOVER CARPET CLEANERS AT ALL COSTS!!
I immediately returned it to the store and exchanged it for a much much cheaper carpet cleaner made by Bissell. Much cheaper but Bissell knows more about carpet cleaners than Hoover. The one I got even has more suction power and better agitation than Hoover.
What's great about it: none that I saw
What's not so great: Easily breaks various parts after a short use.
