Equally terrifying and moving... a triumph!

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2007)

WOW, was this ever good.
I was excited for this immediately after seeing the trailer, and after seeing that the reviews lived up to it, I was doubly so.
John Cusack, who is alone on screen for about 80% of the film, does a superb job as always. His emotional range is amazing, and at times in the film, it takes him nothing more than a facial expression to drag you right down into the emotional hell his character Michael Enslin is currently trapped in.
The scares in the film are absolutely breathtaking, ranging from shocks to carefully built suspense, and the emotional catharises verge on tear-jerking.
Back it all up with a very solid supporting performance from Samuel L Jackson, and you've got a true must-see.
