Yara reads out a section from Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, "The Idiot", which sums up the "But here I should imagine the most terrible part of the whole punishment is, not the bodily pain at all-but the certain knowledge that in an hour,-then in ten minutes, then in half a minute, then now-this very instant-your soul must quit your body and that you will no longer be a man-and that this is certain, certain!"

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 »
I wish I could have found just one thing positive to say about this film, but there's nothing. Not a thing.
The beginning made it look so promising, what an absolute let down.
The score was as annoying as a mosquito buzzing in your ear, only much, much louder.
Now if someone can please tell me where all these high ratings and reviews came from, that would be great. I was fooled into watching this, purely on that, and I feel cheated. I will never take IMDb ratings seriously again, because it is obviously rigged.
I also voted for all the one star reviews (there are so many!) in hopes they are bumped up to warn the unsuspecting potential viewer.
