This movie deserves a much higher score but I think it is a movie that people have trouble enjoying for at least 3 reasons.

Firstly, it takes time and focus to actually follow the plot. It's not spoon feeding you. You have to pay attention and remember events and comments from earlier in the movie. It all ties together beautifully at the end but you have to be able to see it.

Second, it takes a huge twist close to the end. If you don't get the plot, you won't like or understand the twist. I like this movie because it's one of those WTF movies that really leaves you thinking about it long after the movie. These are my favorite type of movies so I get why not everyone likes that.

Third, I love horror. This is one of the freakiest horror films I have ever seen and I have seen hundreds. This is up there with Event Horizon in terms of spooky/revolting and unsettling horror. But it only comes in small bits. Most of the movie is psychological but here and there it has really great horror moments. Both "shock/surprised" horror and also that sort of OMG realization horror where you realize how horrific something is slowly and your eyes go wide.

I hope more of you can watch this and enjoy it as much as I did.
