What A Film!

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2001)

all I can say is WOW!I was completely taken aback by this fab little thriller which actually spooked me!I went to see this yesterday and didnt really know what to expect-having only a 12 certificate I thought it wouldnt scare me and so went along anyway!I could not take my eyes from the screen throughout the entire movie-some say it was too slow but i really didnt notice anything slow and thought that the time flew by!The build up of tension was great and the whole film had a really edgey and spooky feel to it and then every so often there was a shock moment that made the entire audience jump from their seats!Nicole Kidman was amazing as were actually all the characters-particularly the two children who were really convincing. But the last 20 minutes of this film were the best-some say it ripped off another film *not mentioning any names* but i DID NOT think so. I really saw the first part of the twist coming and was disappointed thinking that this was the major twist-BUT then the twist arrived and smacked me on the head and i'm sure my jaw dropped to the ground! overall this movie is soooo good and much better than the average slasher as it has far more brains and actually builds up the scares rather than relying on gore infested scenes! see it NOW or you will regret missing it on the large screens-dont go alone! ***** 5/5
