“This is a good film. People have complained heavily about the lack of character explanation, which I do realise is conventionally the basis to any decent story, BUT I feel this film is due credit for its unconventional approach in editing, filming and character placement.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI watch a lot of horrors, searching for anything that doesnu0026#39;t hit upon cliché after cliché and I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It wasnu0026#39;t a typical u0026#39;in your faceu0026#39; horror, but was tense, creepy and unpredictable until the twist. Despite not being completely original in overall plot, I can easily imagine its approach to film making leaving a legacy for future filmmakers. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe camera work was clever, the acting good and overall experience was enjoyable. It was a complete mind f*ck of a film until the twist. Thatu0026#39;s how I like my films. So thumbs up all round.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDefinitely would recommend this to anyone that can appreciate the fact that a film can be scary without ridiculous amount of blood, gore and stereotypical characters. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, Enjoy fellow film lovers!”
