I know who you are.

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2005)

One can only admire the discipline of Bale as he emulates what DeNiro has done in Raging Bull. They probably summarized the shooting scenes where he had his medium build before he lost some weight and ended up looking like the cadaver he is in this movie. He has this intensity that clearly is reaping the rewards of his earlier career in heavy drama as a child actor. The movie is extremely creepy and the score has some traces of Bernard Hermann influence in it. It's very Hitchcockian more than anything and it has moments that are not for the faint of heart. I wonder if the green palette was intentional and I wonder if it was achieved in post or during shooting. It has a clichéd concept though when you get to the end, but the execution, the tension you get from watching the film. The contageious fury that Bale brings to his role. It's all worth it. All involved are to be commended but praise goes to Bale, director Anderson and of course his scorer. The music makes this movie creepier than it would have been without it.
