Holy freak!

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2005)

OK, I just finished watching movie and it was very intense! It was a scary movie that actually had a great plot. The movie begins with two characters waking up to discover they are locked inside an old bathroom, each chained to the plumbing on either side of the room, with a dead body in the middle. They soon discover that it is all part of a sadistic man's 'game', which involves them finding how to escape the room alive.
Like I said, I found this to be very intense, but also very fascinating to discover how the plot unfolds with its flashbacks and multiple perspectives. One scene in particular was actually quite disturbing, and I think most people will know what I mean when they see the movie.
All in all, it's well worth watching if you're not too squeamish...rest assured that there are a few 'breathing space' scenes, so it's not horrific the whole way through.
An aside for Australians: whilst I wasn't too surprised seeing Leigh Whannell acting in this movie, it blew my mind to see him appear as the writer in the credits! For people not familiar with him, he used to be the co-host for the ABC (Australia) alternative youth music show 'Recovery' from 1996-1998...being quite a funny co-host. Good on him for going ahead and making this film!
