Admirable film.

A Masterpiece!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie should be shown as an example to film students on how to deliver a story line. The director and writer did a simply amazing job at delivering the story in a slow and very suspenseful way. I can't say enough about how the story and it's reveal impressed me. The story itself had a lot of excellent twists and turns that really kept me very interested.The acting was pretty good as well for a low budget thriller. The only criticism I can give this film is the scene transitions. I loved when they were done, but the peephole cam and out of focus transitions took me quite a while to get used to and took me out of the story. That's the only thing I can criticize. The bad reviews of this film must be by people that want their stories laid out for them on a silver platter within 5 minutes. This one keeps you thinking and you truly don't know what is going on for a good 40 min of the movie. Either that or they couldn't get past the strange camera work.If you appreciate something that's different and a really good story delivery. This movie is a excellent example.

Refreshing as it is to see attempts made to reinvigorate the played out serial killer genre movie it seem that in this and to a certain extent in the ludicrously over rated Australian film "Snowtown" the only thing "new" the director can bring is annoying camera work. This movie is particularly irritating asA) Between almost every scene change the picture fades out and then fades in again.B) It would appear that even though some of the actors are portraying recovering alcoholics it is in fact the camera man who is drunk.C)The doom laden score plays too often promising tension that is never delivered.D)Although filmed in widescreen there is little scope to the cinematography - it may as well be pan and scan.E) In the sorry end this is nothing but a generic serial killer movie and a poor one at that.Yet again for the millionth time - DO NOT believe the hype. Avoid.

More of a thriller than it is a horror, although the suspense is straight out of any good horror flick. There's no joy to be found here in this grim, bleak and melancholic take on the serial killer genre with an excellent twist. The lead actors do such a fantastic job of making us care or loathe for these believable and well structured characters that it can be easy to forgive the film for its shortcomings in its questionable cinematography and irritating shooting style. The pacing is also excellent in giving equal parts character development and subtle plot points leading up to a fantastic finale with the previously mentioned unspeakable twist, although the ending is somewhat abrupt and unsatisfactory.

I watched this movie because it was billed as 'Horror'. The only thing that was horrific was the cameraman and editorial department. They couldn't even afford fake blood - so they filmed all the murders off camera.The only reason I did not shut the movie off after the first 15 minutes was twofold - first: a lot of the actors were actually decent. Second: the story was a pretty original one, albeit the film managed to make it really confusing from start to finish, if a semi talented director would have gotten this story it could have made for a really decent movie. My Advice To You: If your not a film student - STAY AWAY!
