Very nicely done!

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2009)

I started watching this film, thinking I would hate it, but it was surprisingly very enjoyable! The plot was terrific, good pacing and character development and the directing was top notch. At first the "whispering people" were irritating me, and I wish they had more of a non cliché presence in the earlier part of the film but it still worked out. 2 more things bothered me, the part where Nicholas Cage's character first encounters "a whispering person" in the woods and it just turns around and a big glow comes out of it's mouth. That was so cheesy. The same effect could have achieved if it just sent out a high pitched tone that distracted Cage's character.
My third complaint is that they shot it digitally on the Red Camera. The colors were way too saturated and polished. A film like this deserves to be shot on 35 mm.
Other than those 3 things, I really enjoyed it. Check this one out.
