Innovative, intelligent, and deeply disturbing.

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 1999)

This movie is one of the few that I have seen which left me feeling unnerved. Many of the scenes and ideas in the movie will creep up on you as you are about to drift off to sleep in bed and jerk you into an alert frenzy to find a nightlight. This movie managed to keep things moving and slowly turn a hike in the woods into a life and death struggle with the unknown. You can be sure that after seeing it will generate a great deal of thought and discussion with your friends. One of my friends that I saw this movie with had to sit there until the "All events in this movie are fictitious and any resemblance to real stuff is completely coincidental" message appeared on the screen. She said eve though she new it wasn't real before she saw it, she had to make sure after seeing it because she couldn't go to sleep if it was real. I think that captures my feelings entirely. In conclusion... SEE THIS MOVIE!
