Extraordinary and stunningly beautiful, 9 November 2009
10/10
Author: zombiegurl212 from United States

This movie completely blew me away. It's not your ordinary Hollywood genre film, it's literally extra-ordinary. Yes, it's a genre film. And yes, it has gory scenes and some very scary scenes. But it's the overall creepiness of the film that really gets under your skin. I literally cannot stop thinking about the film and still get shivers thinking of it.

It also has some hilarious dark humor. The director subtly pokes fun at some of the clichés of horror/thriller films. Like when a police officer comes to see his brother's corpse. You think he's going to save Anna (Christina Ricci) but what happens is so darkly twisted that it will literally take your breath away! Liam Neeson was particularly good as the sinister undertaker. He has this amazing presence. I also was pleasantly surprised by how good Justin Long was. It's not his usual role and he was exceptional.

But more than anything else this is a stunningly beautiful film. The colors and visuals of the movie are extremely powerful and really help create a weird and very creepy world.

An extraordinary film. Definitely catch it when it's released in cinemas!
