The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
