Review by christopherlaursen

This is a nice effort at creating that slower, atmospheric thriller as another reviewer aptly pointed out, but it loses in not linking the story together, failing to throw the viewer right into the midst of the brewing insanity. The story is very choppy and despite interesting performances by Mullan and Caruso, the characterizations are not as indepth and psychological as they could be. I was left wondering what really drove any of the characters, but I was left ultimately impressed with the absolutely crisp, colorful and moody photography and delirious, gripping sound. Brilliant technical work on this movie; if only Anderson and Gevedon (as auteurs) would have really considered the story more and connected the missing links. A notable attempt at breaking the boring current trend of teen schlock horror.
