Honestly, I was expecting the film to be mediocre to horrible based on the critic reviews. I thought it was fucking excellent. It's the perfect blend of psychological and supernatural horror. How could the critics be so wrong? Am I wrong? I really liked the movie. Anyone else here see it? If so, what did you think? I saw the unrated cut, that might matter.

I am surprised this is the first time I've heard of this film.

I thouI've seen most of the horror movies from the early 2000s (not only mainstream ones, but b-movies and below).

Will have to check this out!

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I really enjoyed it.

Dunno the movie, but from what I can observe, professional critics usually paint the opposite image than what people think.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It certainly seems that way.

I really like it. I've seen it three or four times now. Never did know where the bad reputation came from.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's inconceivable to me. I thought it was excellent.
