Guidelines for Building Aura and Feeling: Excellence

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2009)

Truly good film- very anti-much of what Hollywood spews out nowadays; truly creative and innovative in many, many ways, but mostly in the way the camera and actors interact and decide what and which ways to see and not see what is going on- truly brilliantly done film. I feel having a scene with the demonologist would have added a great deal to the overall knowledge and eeriness of the film... This work vacillates between suspenseful and frightening, however some moments are not so much scary as they are comical- a true panoply of emotions here. All in all, well worth your time and money.
I found myself wanting to converse with the actors at different points in the film, which doesn't always happen in explicit Hollywood-produced fare, which I think attests to the naturalism and reality inherent to how this was done.
