VERY POWERFUL AND MOVING ( THRILLING) DRAMA,OUTSTANDING !!

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2004)

Wohooow,what a movie!! I saw this film yesterday in " avant-premiere" and must say that this is one of the best drama's I've seen in months! From the trailer you would expect this to be a horror-movie but that's totally not true. I'm not saying that there are no thrilling moments,but they're not the main attraction of this movie. It's more about people living together in a small community and how they interact with each other. You really care about the different characters and when something bad happens to them it's as if it happened to you too! Very good acting and outstanding camerawork. The director knows very well how to build an eerie atmosphere! And the end of the movie is also a big surprise,I really didn't see it coming,and that's a rare thing these days in a time when giant blockbusters rule the cinema with predictable endings. I'm not saying that I don't like these mammoth SF-Aktion movies,in fact,I love them! But once in a while I like a good drama that moves slow and is moving without being overly sentimental,and that's not very common in 2004! Do you like your movies to be touching,thrilling and with an unexpected ending? then go see this one because you won't be disappointed!
