"What happened to me?", 17 elokuu 2009
10/10
Author: GeneticSugarKane from United States

Just finished watching this one, a very unpleasant, terrifying film about sin, guilt and redemption. The film can be looked at as a sort of metaphorical fable or can be taken literally as a supernatural horror story... or maybe one can look at it as a combination of both. The one thing certain is that the performances within the film are excellent from top to bottom.

This is an almost unbelievably brooding work and is not something you'll want to pop in as light "entertainment" when you're looking for some cheap thrills. While the film DOES deliver scares to the patient viewer, it is unusual to say the least.

Essentially, it's a Grimm Fairy Tale brought to life.
