Gracious comments on classy thriller chiller

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2004)

Just got home from seeing this James Wan flick and to be honest i had really high hopes for this film from the advertisement even though it tried to get passed off as a "If you love David Finchers Seven then you'll love this", but i went to see it nonetheless and right from the start of the film i knew i was in for a treat.
With the cast consisting of the dull and uncharismatic Cary Elwes and the now almost defunct Danny Glover it was a masterpiece, Elwes the central character was great, every so often he broke the rthym of the movie but will be remembered for many years to come for one specific gruesome scene which has to be seen to be believed.
The story is as dark as the name suggests, with fantastic sets and mood setting, the characters are fleshed out excellently as the movie is riddled with flashbacks, it trundles along nicely building into a cresendo near the end with an amazing end, if u want your date to cuddle in fear into your shoulder then this is the movie to see, do yourself a favour and go see the best horror/thriller of the year!
