Brilliantly crafted

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2004)

Night has done it again. He knows how to rope in his audience and spin his stories. He has woven a beautiful tale that had me on the edge of my seat. This was not really a horror movie; the movie simply uses the horror angle as a vehicle, as all Night's movies do, to deal with delicate issues such as love and the extent to which some will go to protect and preserve life in the name of love. The movie parallels the love interests of several of its main characters in a very clever and subtle way, which I found most enjoyable. The ending was somewhat of a surprise, but it fit well with the remaining pieces of the movie. I thought this movie flowed much better than some of his previous films, although I have enjoyed them all. I will be seeing this movie again.
