I love to be surprised

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2003)

Agatha Christie meets John Carpenter, yet this movie avoids, for the most part, the cliches of both the drawing room murder mystery and the slasher pic. Because two narratives are developed, we know early on that the two plots will ultimately intersect. But just how they come together in the third act was a genuine and pleasing surprise. I didn't see where the film was going, but by the end of the movie, I was remembering various clues from Acts 1 and 2.
