Gripping tension from start to finish.

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2007)

What made this film so effective was not the creepy-crawlers lurking in the dark, but how even BEFORE that, I squirmed in my seat at broken bones, tight spaces and personal demons. It became "Could this really get worse for them?" and then... BAM! The horror really begins. This was a tightly crafted thriller from beginning to end.
That fact that I was on the edge of my seat long before the monsters arrived is a testament to how this film really is above and beyond the other contemporary horror thats out there right now. The dubiously named "Splat Pack" should take some notes while watching this one. (They are probably all ripping this film off as we speak!)
Sure, the acting may not have been award-winning by any means, but I cared about and believed all the characters and the UNCUT ending makes for some realistic and daring storytelling.
This is an absolute MUST SEE for all horror fans, and even those who like thrillers, but not the gore... I think they can handle this just fine and be all the better for it.
