If you like a good horror movie (like I do) check this small gem of a low budget movie out! The US DVD version sucks. The transfer is bad and loads of extras are left out. Check out the special edition DVD. Good writing, good acting and cheeky without going overboard. The makeup is a little cheesy but with the budget they had to work with it kicks the pants off of the cookie-cutter Hollywood horror flicks.

Hal Hartley can do no wrong!
4 November 2001
This is my favorite Hal Hartley movie. All his movies are small gems. I love independent movies and I hope Hal Hartley never goes mainstream or sells out. What if the Lord Jesus did come back and loved his people so much that he could not open the final book and destroy the unbelievers? It was nice to see P. J. Harvey in a movie since I am a fan of her music. Don't watch this if you are a fan of cookie cutter Hollywood movies, you will be disappointed.

I loved the movie
4 November 2001
I was in a bad frame of mind when I first saw this movie. For some reason it clicked on all my levels, tensions in a family, loneliness and the want of someone to share your life with. It didn't hurt that the someone to share your life with was such a beautiful girl as Claire (Cyndy Preston). I also bought the sound track to this movie (very hard to get). Loved it and hope it will someday come out on DV
