Quotes
Hugh:
Okay, even thought it is following you I can still see it. It is not done with me either. Okay, like I told you, all you can do is pass it on to someone else.
Kelly Height:
What the fuck are you talking about?
Hugh:
She can do the same thing I did. It should be easier for her, she is a girl. Any guy would be with you. Just sleep with someone else and tell him to do the same thing. Maybe it will never come back.

Crazy Credits
There are no opening credits at all, and the title does not appear on-screen until the end of the film. See more »
Finally a real horror in a long time! No more bloody, slasher crap. This is how the really scary movies were made. Suspense and fear are created by great cinematography and music.
The pace of the movie is slow and almost no to few special effects are present. I surely hope that this movie hails the return of the great horror genre: we are scared of the unknown and not violence for the sake of it.
All the young actors are promising, they really pulled it off. Kudos to the director who also wrote the script, I am looking forward to his next movie.
Go see it, you won't regret it!
