I'm probably one of the few that enjoyed this movie better than "The Sixth Sense"...
I think I have a bit of a bias since my band used to do a great cover of "Paint It Black", but I just found the movie fascinating...I agree the digging scene went on a bit long, but I also understand why...this was to illustrate his determination to find out what he was after.
I felt the ending was a bit rushed, but still liked it as opposed to a lot of horror movies these days.
*Semi-Spoiler* I also have to take issue with the post about violence towards women...the girl was the victim of the attack, but it was hardly glorifying that act...the two guys got their just deserts...I suppose now the only ones who can have violence against them are white males age 25-45? How boring would that be? These types of movies hardly glorfiy violence against women...I could get off on a whole new rant regarding the treatment of women in movies, but I'll save that for my website ;)
Overall, a great movie with a few chills, a few surprises and solid acting. 9/10
