much better than average, 23 September 2009
9/10
Author: paulv-1 from Toronto

I can see how this is not to everyone's liking however I truly think this is an above-average film. Very well done overall. Excellent acting, beautiful cinematography, intense mood and a realistic documentary feel.

It is way better than most "blockbuster" films in this general category although I agree with most reviewers that it doesn't quite fit nicely in the "horror" genre. It is not full of cheap scares. Instead it relies on a heavy atmosphere of dread to instill a feeling of unease throughout.

It could be described as slow perhaps, to some, yet I did not personally sense that it was overlong. It kept me quite engrossed throughout.

I highly recommend this intelligent, skillfully made film.
