Astonishing
2 April 2008
This movie is highly recommended. However be warned that it is not a commercial film, it is more earthy than that. The story and acting is realistic which is where the real horror and suspense lies. Our emotions during this movie are similar to the actual emotions we feel in real life probably because the movie is almost shot in real time which simply extends the anxiety we feel and the relief is sparse and takes a while to arrive, again as in real life.

I've never quite seen a movie like this before. It started out pretty boring and banal and as the movie progressed I experienced each of the following emotions in sequence: sleaze, pity, stomach-turning horror, shock, human drama, suspense and even more tension and suspense.

I cannot remember any other movie doing this so effectively.
