Much better than I expected

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

I never could manage to get to the theater and see this movie when it was out so when it hit the video stores this week I was all over it. I had heard great things about this movie and I wanted to see it for myself. Let me start with I am NOT a Nicole Kidman fan but I thought she was great in this movie! Unfortunately, I had to watch this movie in pieces because I started it so late in the evening but this turned out to be a good thing. I watched about 45 minutes the first night and I hadn't quite put it all together yet and just knew there was something coming to do just that and I was right. This was reminscent of The Sixth Sense when things start to all fall into place and you say to yourself "I should have known that." It's shot in very low light so it's very dramatic throughout. The other thing I really liked about this movie was that there was really only 6 main characters so you could really focus on what's happening without all the distractions of a lot of extras milling about to fill up space. If you liked The Sixth Sense, you'll like this one too.
