Disturbing

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2002)

here we go folks... NO movie ever has made me stick to the message board or write e mail back and forth or talk to friends about it or made me think about its meaning
that much like this one. NO movie ever has me scared that much that I sat in my chair , tears running down my cheeks, goose bumps all over, willing to look away from the
screen just to make sure I do miss what happens next
Normally a movie has lost its fascination for me when it is over and I start thinking : Why did they do that, that could not happen in reality, impossible... Not with this one. I am trying to get behind the secrets of this movie, what it should express, follow hints that are given to try and get the bigger picture. It freaked me out, scared me to death. A roller coaster ride from the very beginning and you do hope it might end every second. Once finished,
exhausted and disturbed, I was glad it was over and I survived... Not that I am not into a good shocker or can't handle the ones I have seen before but
this is something new. A modern gothic horror that leaves many questions unanswered but this exactly makes it worth watching it another time...if you
dare to go through all this again... I am burning for to get it on DVD , even though I know what happened and how it ended I don't know anything,
want to solve the mystery behind Samaras existence, the reason for what she did, what Rachel's intentions are, what role the Innkeeper played and how
who could have been saved and more victims be avoided... With its special effects, back flashes and "art-student-like" video shots this is something new in the era of horror/thriller films it occupies you from the very first shot until the very last. Even though I felt like I knew what happens next all the time during the movie, it came even worse and more terrifying. But the less you know about this one and the less you expect the better...so get in there, watch it and think about how you feel like the next seven days
once you've made it... if you'll make it...
