This will haunt you for days...

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 1999)

I´ve seen this movie dubbed "the scariest movie of the 90´s", and I must say they´re wrong. This is THE scariest movie of them ALL! It starts slowly and thus fooling you to think it´s not so scary after all. Gradually it becomes more and more horrifying until you just can´t take it anymore! By the time the final shot comes and the movie releases you from it´s grasp you´re left with heart pounding, shocked to your core. The final shot keeps returning to your mind for days. It´s amazing how something so simple can be so overwhelmingly terrifying... How have they managed to come up with a movie this good with almost non-existent budget, unknown actors and simple script? The answer lies in many things, but most importantly in the actors and the style this movie was made. Together they create an experience which is totally convincing. Always before you could see the actors are faking it all and this and that was made by effects, film-editing etc. The documentary style guarantees the situations are portrayed realistically and all three actors seem like they aren´t acting at all, just as if they were really living it all. I would like to recommend an oscar for everybody responsible for this movie, it´s really that good and groundbreaking.
