Suspense as sharp as a scalpel

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2007)

This is the first good suspense film I've seen in a very long time. Please notice that I say film, not movie. It is something you must see for yourself to truly enjoy, but to summarize the plot I will say that the 3 guys backpack thru Europe and encounter something so evil that the mind can hardly fathom it. Kudos to Eli Roth for the incredible suspense it contains and a minimum of gore that is so overdone these days. I dare say this film hearkens to the touch of the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Jay Hernandez is spectacular as the protagonist and is totally believable in his character. I will be purchasing this on DVD very soon. If you have the chance, check it out. It is well worth it.
