Leaving out the typical slasher-style, and focusing on the psychological horror!

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2005)

You need to have a strong spirit on this one! Wan(director) and Whannel(Actor and Screenwriter, i think), come up with some seriously nasty stuff, but also manage to hold the plot nicely together, and leaving out the typical slasher-style effects. the horror is more on a phycological level. Also the directing part is top-notch, with fantastic camera movement and great use of slow-motion/speed-ups. The only thing that keeps this movie from getting 10/10 is Cary Elwes; slightly overplaying on the emotional side. But apart from that almost everything is done extremely determined, and you end up with a movie in the top of the Horror-chart. Cult-classic!
