3/4 of a masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2002)

This movie is best approached by not expecting a great sci-fi event. It is another subtle, understated film; more like Unbreakable than The Sixth Sense. It suffers from the same fate as most Stephen King novels. There is no way that the ending can stand up to to the tension and anticipation that is built during the film. In this case the ending seems almost an afterthought. The film itself is a quiet, multi-layered thriller that slowly builds to an edge of your seat experience, marred only by an anti-climactic ending. In summary, I felt as if I'd watched a Twilight Zone episode, and that's not really a bad thing. 6/10
