I look to see Jack as an undertaker and buring deacon....maybe he will be showing his feelings while he prepares for his death.

I had never even HEARD of this movie, but loved the cast, so I tivo'd it and ended up watching it last night. And, I thought it was really good! The... story was very detailed and covered things that are usually questioned or just never explained in most horror/thriller type movies (because the director either doesn't care or thinks we're too stupid to \"get\"). Like the school boy's home life and how he was bullied at school, explaining reasons he'd be interested in something like this. Things he did which showed a connection between his and main character's personality type. I liked how it started off with you not knowing whether or not Anna was dead or alive. It's a movie where you really need to pay attention to the details and understand the \"style\" to get it. Which I liked. The story wasn't \"black & white\" and predictable like most movies. And, I liked how it didn't \"re-cap\" at the end, to show you clues \"you may have missed\", like a lot of movies do. There were MANY clues that you had to put together on your own. It was a very refreshing change from the same'ol same'ol predicable horror suspense move. Well done! Full Review

It was an interesting movie but it made no sense! You don't know what is what! It had a terrible ending! And just didn't make any sense!

I agree with Jackd1207, but don't think we can change the 4 star user review (seems to be set in stone) even if all users reviews rate it one star.... et's try though. Full Review

I haven't seen the movie. I just hated to see a 4 star "User Review" when there were NO user reviews!

The criss-crossing between drama, thriller, and horror is nothing if not arresting. It is also unsettling.Full Review

We can enjoy the suspense of the opening scenes, and some of the drama. The performances are in keeping with the material. But toward the end, when we realize that the entire reality of the film is problematical, there is a certain impatience. It's as if our chain is being yanked.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The potent imagery never meshes with narrative logic in Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's first feature, promising more than it can deliver.Full Review

Brian Lowry

Neeson's performance is so eerie, in a buttoned-down sort of way.Full Review
