Overrated

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Let me start by saying I've made a mistake. I was looking for a Horror film, and was naive enough to think a title involving "haunted" would be Horror. I must have forgotten to double check.Second - I have no idea how to review this. I don't think I was able to understand the plot, the twist (was there one?) or even the main gist. I could only assume that the director, while trying to make us feel as confused about the border between reality and psychosis as the protagonist. Problem is - if we don't know what's real, we can't understand the film, now can we?I have not seen the Twilight trilogy, so I'm enough unbiased to be able to say that Pattinson's acting in this film wasn't as superb as other reviews would have you believe. It was good, yes, but not magnificent. The dialogues are confusing, bizarre and almost surreal. The one thing good about the script was the poetic touch in the letters Toby wrote Julia.So... all in all? I have no idea what happened in this film, why the events turned the way the did, and what caused it. A very unrewarding experience.

The young British airman, Lieutenant Toby Jugg, has been critically injured in his last raid over Nazi-held territory during World War II, and is transferred out of war-ravaged London to a remote psychiatric hospital for wounded soldiers.As played by a very young Robert Pattinson, his psychically wounded spirit is captured with amazing clarity. The gloomy aura of the hospital is further enhanced by his increasing mistrust of the man responsible for his supposed return to health, and his increasing unease with his own helpless situation.As his sanity spirals out of control, his despair and feelings of hopelessness increase to unfold in horrifying results.

I didn't like it. It really had no plot. He fell in love with his Aunt, not his biological Aunt I know, but still creepy. I couldn't figure out what was going on. The movie plot seemed to be in a million places at once. The only reason I watched it was because of Rob. I was greatly disappointed by his incestuous relationship, smoking, & overall weird behavior. I'm sorry to those who liked it, but I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was overall just strange. There really isn't any other way to put it. It seems, other than Harry Potter & Twilight, most of Rob's films have been kinda out there. He's a good actor & musician, but he needs to set his sights higher when choosing what sort of films he auditions for. He could do better.

The film was good, not fantastic but definitely not terrible. The acting was fantastic though, especially Robert Pattinson. It was quite hard to follow the story as it moved around a lot and left things unexplained, but that all adds to suspense. The ending was very confusing though that was the only bit I really didn't like. Overall the movie was watchable and I would watch it again for the sake of Robert Pattinson, maybe the story would be more clear the second time round as I have not read the book. For just over a hour the film is really well done and acted, definitely recommend watching twice before you decide whether you like it or not.I wouldn't say the film was terrible I've seen much much much WORSE!
