Excellent Cinematography with one problem.

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2012)

Loved the film. Loved the plot and loved the jump cuts. The cinematography was excellent until the last 20 minutes of the film. The film had an old-fashioned ghost story element not unlike that of George C. Scott's "The Changeling." It kept me on my toes and interested and I didn't mind the scary jump cuts.
What I resented was about 20 minutes before the end of the film, the modern equivalent of horror movie filler. "We've run out of scare tactics so we're going to throw a dark haired white ghostly figure at you. Its mouth will extend to an inhuman position and it will give an ear-piercing-only-dogs-can-hear-you-now scream." Once just wasn't enough. The first scream was followed up ten minutes later by a second scream. The film would have been PERFECT if not for the switch to modern day horror tactics. It already had the hair on the back of the audience's collective neck standing, and did not need the cheap CGI Japanese horror changeover. Great plot, great editing, great cast, great feel, horrible scream.
