Bloody amazing! That's all I can say about this movie. In less than 20 minutes it beats the crap out of many feature films. It shows you that if you want to make people laugh, you have to be serious about it. This is a story that works extremely well and keeps you involved every single second, you can't even blink. On top of that, you have humour all the way through, but it's a bonus really; if it wasn't there, the story would still work as a horror film anyway. The good thing is that every time you think the plot is about turn into some sort of cliché, it surprises you with something new.

The editing and the camera angles are pretty cool. There are many shots from the floor level or even below (inside drains, toilet, etc.), they make you feel you're stuck down there, which makes perfect sense when you see the film. It gives you the sensation you know more than the characters, which is the only way suspense can work.

The acting is pretty good too; the guy that plays the pimp is brilliant and Dave, the main character, made me laugh all the way through. Barry Crocker playing a quiz show host is a real legend!
