Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Samantha is holding the knife near the bottom of the stairs, she says, "Mrs. Ulman?" referring to Mr. Ulman's mother-in-law. Her last name would most likely not be the same as her son-in-law's last name. more

The previous commentator was right; if you consider yourself an average American moviegoer, more attracted to box-office blockbusters than quality, well-produced works of art, you may be disappointed. This is not a "scary movie"; This is a refreshingly authentic homage to the origins of horror at it's finest. With an Argento feel, and a Polanski-inspired execution, this film captures the essence of what horror once was, and provides true connoisseurs of the genre a treat unseen for the last thirty years. This film is a rare example of a director who is not only a fan of this sub-genre, but understands how to properly execute it as well. A MUST SEE. Excellent. And after a viewing of "Paranormal Craptivity", a breath of fresh air. Well done.
