If you are like me you expect a few things out of a horror movie. 1: Good original story line, 2: gore 3: suspense 4:characterization and 5: good cinematography. I must say this movie fulfills each of my categories. I would especially like to note the originality and the cinematography! If you like clive barker books/movies/comics/whatever, this movie should not disappoint you. This movie was not nearly as intense as hellraiser, but I would agree with the critics that it is the best adaption since hellraiser or his short story "The Hellbound Heart". The only person that I know that disagrees with me is my brother who cought silly things from the book. Such as "the main characters occupation was different", (and yes that really is one of the reasons he did'nt like the movie. The only critique I shared with my brother is the book had a much more abrupt and twisted ending. This movie you see it happening gradually. The good thing about this movie is that it happily answers the views questions of "wtf" is happening.
All in all I would say this is the best and most underrated horror film as of yet in 2k9.
