Works on so many levels!

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2005)

Not your average thriller or psycho-drama, this film is unbelievably good - and as freaky as they come. It's intense, totally gripping and scary. My stomach was in knots the whole way through, but at the same time I kept sighing and shaking my head in awe of the film's subtle wit and tenderness. I was as scared as I've ever been watching a film and then, the next minute, I was weeping like a baby. A truly deep and powerful, lovely movie. Imaginative and amazing. Really brilliant. I'd go so far as to say it should be required viewing for anyone studying film or screen writing. And I now realize Christian Bale, one of the finest actors going, is also one of the most underrated.
