Not something one would expect.

This movie was very good in my opinion. I first picked it up because of wanting to see more of Quinn's work (having recently become a fan,all too late), and I have to say, I didn't walk in expecting much of the actual film, because I knew next to nothing about the movie at first.

It surprised me even though I wasn't expecting much. The entire flow of the story is not like a typical movie about a murderer trying to kill off a group of people. It fits together very well, and makes the viewer take a different look at what can happen. The fact that it didn't seem to focus on the blood and gore, or the way that people died, was refreshing. And the fact that they did nothing to hide it was also and unexpected, yet welcome, change.

Quinn did an excellent job in his roll, as did most of the other actors. They gave the characters a very 'real' feeling, not of perfect people, but of someone that you would go to school or work with.

The only part that was not quite up to par was the ending. It lacked that real feeling that was present through out the rest of the film. But all in all, the movie was very well put together. Something I would definitely watch more than once.
