Still cant put my finger on it

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2011)

Right first of i can understand people not liking this movie,each to there own as it were but i feel many people have only seen the versions cut for television or something like that, as i saw this movie back in 97 and something instantly clicked i loved it but I'm not sure why. yes its the directors only truly decent movie. The sets are wonderful for the budget and short production time. The cast are good in there roles the effects are also fairly good the camera work and direction are superb but its none of these things that make the movie so good for me. I caught this again on sky the other week and its different from the cinema version but still it was there this feeling, its the atmosphere the mood, Im in my mid 30s now and never really scared by movies as we know its not real but maybe it mankind's fear of the unknown. This movie i think fills me with a feeling of total dread right down to my gut the hair on my neck sort of queasy sick feeling thats why it is scary, not for the gore or jumps its the mood it creates within you i have trouble watching it alone at night in the dark and I'm a fully grown man there is just something about it that makes me feel so uncomfortable watching. I get people don't like this actor or that or the weekend bedroom scientists that want to pick holes in the theory of worm holes and jump drives, but hey its sci-fi that's the point it doesn't have to be feasible or work its fiction the only restriction is our imaginations in this genre also i think the edit for television cuts a lot of parts that help hold it together so please find a DVD and give this a go it shouldn't be scary but there is just something i cant put my finger on but i find it to be one of the most clever films I've ever seen simply for the way it makes you feel you will be thinking about it for weeks afterwards please just try it.......and enjoy it for what it is
