Horror in its original sense

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2014)

This movie is about horror- not disgusting horror of mutilated bodies but horror of realizing a simple truth in the end.
Amenabar redefines the horror genre which he did once already with "Open your eyes". Acting is top notch. Nicole Kidman including the kids draw us into the world of their banal existence. All the characters have their own quirks which is a treat to watch. The most original thing is the minimalism presented. There are no ear shattering music to irritate in the name of shocking you. Everything including the dialog and the music seem have a reason for existence linking it to the story.
A must watch!
