    Horrifyly, chillingly good psychodrama
    I saw this movie yesterday and on the whole really liked it. Whew ... I don't know when last I've been to a horror movie / psychodrama that was so relentlessly scary ... in a lean, bleak, psychologically devastating way.

    I thought the acting and scripting and directing and editing were all really excellent throughout. Everything but everything in this movie works together to draw you into an utterly horrifying experience.

    What really captivated me was this understated but relentless tension that just grips and chokes and overwhelms from beginning to end.

    This is the kind of movie that really, really makes you *feel* like you're there, going through what this unfortunate family went through.

    If you haven't seen it yet and like good, chilling, judiciously bloody psychodrama, hey, check this movie out ... it's really scary psychodrama at its very best.
