Spoiler alert ....Old school meets New Generation

Rating: 5/10 (26 October 2009)

Here we have pre-newlyweds living 'the life'. No problems here. We see the life we want to live, great house, great job, great potential.... Except the unseen...the unknown...the undead...
This movie was well done in the sense that it used many classic film techniques implemented almost 100 years ago, for a New generation who has never experienced sheer suspense and fun and needs to.
A well devised plot driven movie. Dialogue kept to a minimum building slowly adding more intensity to the tension of the situation. Culmination with the climax at the END of the movie. A CLASSIC old school Horror MOVIE. Kudos to the director and cast. Limited blood and gore, what is left to the imagination is always the most frightening. Great job for a generation of newbie viewers to this type of genre.
One thing sets this movie apart in this day and age, which makes it exceptional. Is the use of many old school tricks from classic horror movies that are now anywhere from 100 to 50 years old! For example the footsteps in the powder on the floor, doors moving without assistance. Bedsheets curling next to a sleeping victim. I think the first time I saw that I was scared to death when watching "The Invisible Man". What kids in the 21at century are even familiar with such fun? These guys know their classic horror/suspense film movies and hopefully learned something from FILM SCHOOL. The fact that LESS is MORE is scary! Single camera shots...seemingly isolated characters...tearing apart emotionally but needing one another. No musical score. In fact the film was as fun to watch a second time as a silent! A wonderful complement to the actors and directors.
In addition, the use of camera colors for night shots was well done...sepia tones at night add to the suspense of the intruder with the hour counter in the corner for added tension. Then BAM color! The fear of the 'UNKNOWN' as the ethos of the film and the stubborn man who must protect his WOMAN at all COSTS, great stuff.
Hopefully this movie will inspire more thought provoking movies than straight out gore and masochistic violence produced under the guise of Horror flicks.
