...an effective chiller that's got a skeleton or two in its closet.

Effektiv, och krypande obehaglig skräck som fungerar fram till det ofrånkomliga ögonblick när det blir för mycket av det goda. Positiv bieffekt: man får lust att se om Michael Manns ”Manhunter”.

Fed historie med gode “flashbacks” og skræmmende børn.

Det är en film som får mig att rysa, hoppa till och bli ordentligt rädd.

Lite långsam film men extremt brutala scener. Hjärtat bultade fort.
