This film has permanently scarred my psyche
20 October 2003 | by (Cambridge MA) – See all my reviews

It's been a year since I rented this film. I still get nightmares. There is one scene in particular (and I think we all know which scene I'm talking about) Which I've been revisiting over and over again in my most horrible dreams. This film has disturbed me in a way that no film ever has. It's a testament to how dark a feature film can be if the filmmakers choose to go there.

Personally, I know that I will never be the same.
