thrilling and disturbing

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2012)

Ethan Hawke is a true crime writer. He is investigating the disappearance of a young girl whose family was brutally hanged in the backyard of their home. To get the real "feel" of his subject, he along with his family, moves in to the same house. There he discovers a cache of snuff movies and he begins to realize that there is a serial killer operating from a really long time. However, the truth is much more sinister than this. This is one of the better horror movies I have seen this year. With a truly haunting background score and plethora of disturbing scenes with the minimum amount of gore, this manages to get under your skin. Ethan Hawke is good as usual. This should go right to the top of lovers of good horror/thriller movies and should be seen ASAP. This is a good concoction of thrills and horror and the viewer is in for a thrill ride. 3.5 out of 5.
