Realism is the key

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 1999)

The first thing that struck me about this film was the format. It's not in cinemascope but looks just like a home video. This in turn sets the tone for the rest of the film which is completely shot in a 'real' sense. Both the dialogue and the acting were far more natural than I'm used to in the cinema and as a result it seemed a bit strange at first. The advantage of this is that once over this initial hurdle the natural nature makes everything so very believable. This is a film about building suspense and manages to do just that right from start to end while managing to keep everything going at a reasonable pace.
Overall I would definitely recommend this film to anybody in the mood for something different and very involving.
