More varied emotions than the norm

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 1999)

Not your usual horror film. I can't remember ever seeing another horror/suspense film that actually brought tears to my eyes. Tears of sorrow and empathy, not fear. This is not to say that I was not afraid, just that there were other, more surprising emotions as well. There were a couple of places that could've used a little more development and the film did lag once or twice. A nice twist, which I did not anticipate, saved the film for me, and has me thinking still. I will probably see it again. Liked it better than the newly released The Haunting.
