The movie starts out like a good horror should: a desperate girl in a creepy environment. Immediately I was hypnotized to the screen, wanting to know what happened to her. The horrors that occurred these 15 years before the rest of the story were something I didn't expect. The cold, cruel setting of the movie drifts on desperation and does a very good job, while continuously uttering the question 'is this real or not?' The blood and gore are not flying around in a brutal yet funny way, but more realistic in a way that creeps most people out to the point of looking away. The cold setting of the kills and the psychotic acting really are the highlights here. The acting is really incredible, I felt the shivers on my back more than a couple of times during the play. As the plot thickens more becomes clear, only to be twisted again and again to make you really wanting to know what is or isn't real. So I'm really sorry to say that the ending didn't really live up to the story we had seen earlier. It ends in a rather quick, almost parody-like way to leave me asking 'why like this?'
