charlie_freak-1 This was a really pleasant surprise I was expecting action/slash but got a tense and stylishly bloody movie driven by a rocking soundtrack. The pacing had me on the edge of my seat with some genuine suspenseful moments and a cracking ending.In terms of references there's a possession theme which reminded me of The Shining and a style/look and soundtrack that made me think of Dario Argento. I gave it 9/10 because the combination of music and visual style work for me and because its not just another dumb slash-by-numbers movie. Well worth seeing.

brad-765 I'm not usually a big fan of horror movies but i was dragged along by my braver wife of all people. This movie really scared me,I'm not familiar with Eitan Arrussi's work - although I saw Harry on the Boat and remembered it as comedy, though i feel he's more comfortable with horror. I found the plot very compelling and original I was really absorbed in the story-line. It gets really intense at times and the soundtrack was superb especially as it's a low budget movie. It reminded me of The Shining and will hopefully become the British cult equivalent. The best British movie i've seen in a long time - would have given it a 10 but i never do that.

chrichtonsworld When I read the plot outline on IMDb I was expecting a creepier version of Blow Out starring John Travolta. Which was an excellent thriller made by Brian De Palma in case you never heard of that title. The first half hour looked like it was heading that direction and had my psyched. But then the story went where it should not have gone and made the mistake going over the top. No subtle scenes. Very annoying cuts and use of sound that will make your eyes and ears hurt. The what appeared to be clever thriller becomes a ridiculous horror that asks too much of your imagination. I understood what they were trying to do. To create a new horror icon that lives on through his music. And yes if you think about it that does sound like a cool idea if done right. But the way they executed it damaged the movie considerably. The actors weren't that bad so I won't blame them. But the guy who edited this flick should be punished. Naturally he must have gotten the OK from director Eitan Arrusi whoever that is. (Has not done anything in the moviebizz after this film.) With an idea they had they could have created a brilliant thriller / horror. But this movie proves that a good idea alone isn't enough. You need someone who is able to make it work on the screen. And Eitan Arrusi clearly wasn't up to the task.

khunia and then a movie such as this comes along, please do yourself a favour and do not watch this movie, by doing so you will in the process do a favour for the entire world and encourage these people to NOT make anymore movies, EVER again. The rating for this movie was 8.3, which i surmise is from those involved with this debacle of a film. The acting is terrible, well EVERYTHING is terrible, problem is, this movie has quite a good storyline behind, however i would have found more enjoyment reading the book. It isn't very often that I want to throw something through my own television, well I now know how far I can be pushed and I hope to god i never ever revisit that place ever again. After getting halfway through this farce i turned it off and thought to myself "What The?", so my recommendation stay away from this movie like it has the black plague.
