Excellent direction, imaginative writing, and truly superb acting by a cast of relative unknowns make for one of the best films of this type to be seen in quite some time. The story is stunning and easy to believe, with the respective actors giving performances that may well be those of a lifetime. The director keeps the audience on the edge of their seats with suspense and never lets up, bringing realism as well and fantasy elements to his work. It is odd how overlooked this motion picture was in the year it was released but it is now there on video for those looking for a film of imagination, incredible tension, and totally unique. The performance of these actors are not to be missed and the director is someone to expect great things from in the future. A rare gem that deserves cult status.
