Warning: Spoilers
Without name is a solid horror that explores the fear that can come with isolation and the mind playing tricks, especially when magic mushrooms are involved. Without Name is a genuinely creepy movie that builds atmosphere without the usual blood and guts that so many horror movies seem to resort to. The acting is solid and the music really helps built the tension. The photography is absolutely gorgeous but really manages to convey the feeling of menace.

The only problem, and it's not a big one, is that it's very slow and does meander somewhat. I do understand that the story is taking it's time to set up what's to come, but after a while I just wanted it to get to the meat of the story. But like I said, it's a small nitpick. Overall I would recommend it to people who like their horror films a little more cerebral. One thing though, there is a warning at the beginning that there are bright strobing lights that could induce seizures, be careful because there are a few scenes where the strobing lights are really strong.
