Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2005)

Wow, The first half of this movie is better than any other slasher/scary movie I have ever seen. It is a mix of manhunt (the xbox video game), seven, silence of the lambs + cube. One thing is for sure, the director and writer/actor are really, really talented. This is one of the best movie I have seen in the past years (it qualifies along with usual suspects, memento or ravenous in in the category of jewels in the rough, kind of movies). We are millions light years away from typical Hollywood formatted blockbusters (although I like them, a lot).
My only slight complaint, is that the second half, is not as strong as the first. In addition I cannot help that the ending is a bit cheesy (it is still good, but I expected something stronger...) Anywhere you are hooked from the first second, and the feeling of uneasiness grows steadily throughout the movie.
Anyway I urge everyone to watch this movie !!!
Cheers
