An Oscar for horror please !?

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2006)

I don't know anything about games or game on which this movie might be based. All I can say is that in general I hate horror movies. Mostly because it is just about a bunch of people being killed by some mad guy.
In this case it's pure beauty (can you say that about a horror movie?). The story is convincing as much as the acting is. I haven't seen one actor or actress in this movie who is not doing his or her job right, and that includes the young actresses! The story builds up perfectly, and the explanation of the background of the people in the town comes at the right moment.
The use of color, the special effects, they are all great, and there is definitely no over-use of music like in so many horror flicks.
If there is one horror movie that deserves an Oscar it would be this one! Really impressed!
