Scary, not quite, but disturbing and unnerving? Oh yeh, big time.

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 1999)

You'll laugh. Now that's what surprised me the most, there are some bits where you really will laugh - I wonder if audiences did when they thought the whole thing was real? We even found ourselves laughing at the end, but that was totally different, a nervous uneasy laugh. The kind of laugh that hides the fact that you're scared to go home after the cinema and walk in the house on your own without any lights.
Go see this film, okay there's far too much hype, and there's far too many people rubbishing it for no real reason, but you have to see it. If you're a fan of psychological horror then this is for you, actually I don't think you can really use the word horror, psychological terror would be better.
The real disturbing thing was the way the "fright" sections were underplayed, add to that the strange feeling you got from eavesdropping on three people as their relationships falls apart and you've got a film that really messes with your head.
Try to forget all you've heard about it, sit down, and watch, and please, don't have nightmares!
