don't stop at halfway! SCARY, innovative, gory

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2006)

This is, in my opinion, an incredibly spooky and scary movie. I knew very little about it going into it, and the first thing I noticed was the all-female cast. Don't expect stereotypical women from this flick, these characters are all tougher than a lot of men I know. Despite the initial scene, halfway through I started to think it would be a bore, but it quickly picked up thereafter. It had me squirming in either anticipation or disgust all the way to the credits; it was rather bloody. The performances were all top notch. An explanation of what they are encountering is nearly nonexistent, so for that it loses only a point - since I could hardly fathom a plausible explanation for them myself, or a place to put it in the story without making it cheesy. I give credit to the cinematographers for making what they could out of such horrible lighting conditions. And although it was very difficult to figure out what was going on at times, it becomes clear soon enough, or it didn't matter anyways. I thought the spook factor for this movie was high; this is one of the scariest movies I have seen, if not THE scariest. A definite must-see.
