Terrifically creative, creepy

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 1999)

Rarely has a movie left so much to the imagination of the viewer, and been content to show the audience so little on screen. The scariest minutes of the film are spent with nothing but darkened, blurry images on the screen, and the audience listening raptly to the noises on the audio: the scrambling of the protagonists, their frightened queries, or the ominous howling and cackling that haunts them.
the minimalist approach is devastatingly effective. The ending is a little weak, lacking the big payoff one expects after such a terrific build-up; nevertheless, this is indeed one of the most suspenseful, chilling and disturbing films you'll see in your lifetime.
A 10 out of 10.
