Reviews
Was taken back by the picture quality at first as it is made in 1999 and also lead to few initial confusion as i could not detect some context difference .
Nevertheless the story keeps you gripped down .
Mystery is build up smoothly early on. You constantly get questions on your mind and want to keep watching.
In my case i did not see that reveal coming.
While i did find some scenes lackluster overall i found it very interesting and intriguing. Few scenes and interactions were brilliantly done. I was not excited about the romance part but did not hate it since it served to develop the story.
I did not pay attention to the music.it does its job to keep viewers on edge . Rewatch value is less because the mystery is already solved so surprise factor will be lost after but still i would like to watch again to see if there are more clues and details that i missed the 1st time.(not anytime soon since its pretty gruesome)
Not an avid watcher of horror thriller kind movie .
May be that could be a reason why i have enjoyed this movie so much but would highly recommend (especially for Halloween month).
