Review: This film has been buzzing around our camp ever since a few people saw it at Fantastic Fest. The bottom line is that this is by far the scariest film to come out in years. I had to actually psyche myself up to watch it. Still as creepy and skin crawling on the little screen as I image it was on the big one. 

The cast nail the performances which is a must to keep you riveted to the story. The slightest miscue can take you completely out of the moment. They seem to be living each line of dialogue and unsettling second. . 

The imagery and cinematography only add to the spine tingling sensations. Certainly not for the novice horror film viewer nor those who like a bit of witty humor mixed in. This is text book genre film making and a must own for the devout collector.
