From the opening, the score and the cinematography tell you this is not going to be your typical low budget paint-by-numbers film.
The pacing is not great, but easily forgotten as you take in each awkward scene. The awkwardness is really what makes this film so creepy. The score grates on your nerves and the pregnant pauses punctuating the labored dialogue give yous a sense of being disconnected from reality. It's a clever and really original way of creating the ominous horror undertones your seeking in a scary movie.
The ending twist came as a surprise - but if you stop and think about it, there were quite a few hints.
In all, I really liked this film. There are so many crappy horror movies out there that rely and cheep jump scenes and a twist that is wholly irrelevant to the plot.
If you're looking for something a little different, give this movie a try.
