I wasn't going to write a review about this, but having scanned down the list and seen what a bashing the film has been given I had to say something! I thought it was very creepy. Everything that you see is through the killer's eyes - you see their daily routine and hear their thoughts. Plus one of the killing scenes was really disturbing (but some people who have put comments up on here thought it funny?! No...) OK so the result meant that the camera was a bit all over the place and made people feel sick, but I didn't have this problem at all. The ending could have been more developed though, I needed to know more - but still very worth seeing - and I would want to see something else that this director has done more recently.

I really started out watching this movie with an open mind, hoping I'd found some undiscovered jewel in the land of suspension. Well, I have to say that it contained some originality, but in the end it ended up being one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A 2 out of 10, trying to be nice.

A run of the mill slasher/Halloween type flick that goes through the motions with a few exceptions. The audio/ visuals in this movie are at times stunning and worth a view if only for this. This, along with 'strange' editing leaves you waiting for the next 'strange' event. For you oldies out there try to spot ex-YES keyboard player Rick Wakeman in the movie. WARNING:- This movie contains strobe lighting of around 10 cycles/sec. It does warn of this on the video case but the writing is very small so beware. I gave it a 6/10 for its innovations.

Plain put, Claydon produced a vaguely distorted remake of "Halloween' in the style one cannot eschew after watching the likes of "Seven' and "The Cell' till they left a drone in one's ears: he left out Brad Pit and Jennifer Lopez, but managed to get a fine sound-track and a superbly over the top Miriam Margolyes, who delivers a memorable study in grotesque realism.The horror, however, coming in about three waves of identical pattern, gets pretty repetitive very soon and culminates in an anticlimax entirely out of sorts. Claydon might need to watch "Nightshift' and "When the Bough Breaks' to get a better grasp on plot-development or the urge to have a point before shooting. But I'm miffed anyway because I wanted to see a Korean thriller by Sung-Hong Kim and dreamily trudged to the wrong festival-theatre, therefore my judgement might be somewhat biased by self-loathing...
