I agree with Bokami, it's not horror. I wouldn't even say it has a lot of gore (there's a little).

This is one of my favorite films, but I don't wanna raise anyone's expectations too high because it's not perfect :) I would suggest watching it before reading too much about it. It's one of those movies that unfolds better when you have limited knowledge, IMO.

I didn't like this movie. The plot seemed interesting to me too and the movie starts well but then the story is a total nonsense. It was extremely disappointing and a waste of time.

What do you mean? I don't see the connection between this movie and poetry.

I just saw this & my verdict is that it was interesting but not earth shattering by any means. I liked that the story was told from all the main characters viewpoints throughout....I felt sympathy for the teacher whose child is killed but she was portrayed as a cold clinical character & as such did not engender great sympathy from the viewer....her agony & despair weren't portrayed as well as they could have been to draw the viewer in.
