This movie looks promising.

Mine here, found it great:

I began watching this a little concerned. I donât like horror (unless it is more thriller than gore - Polanski style for example) as I donât like excessive gore particularly when just for tasteless shock value. In addition, I donât particularly appreciate films without a fluid camera - I never quite understood what makes people ever think âpoint and shootâ can be equated with cinema.
In spite of all that, this was actually pretty darn good. By the way, how did Zahler get such a great cast when he clearly had a very low budget?
Man, this was awesome. Watched this with my parents who arenât really into much stuff thatâs not mainstream blockbusters and they both enjoyed it. My dad gave it his highest compliment: âI didnât fall asleep during itâ. Although I thought the opening was a bit flat and the first 20 mins didnât quite do much for me, once they set off from the town it was fantastic until the end.
I think I had a similar reaction first time around ⌠some of the hand held stuff looked a little suspect ⌠but all that can easily be forgiven once it gets going - watched it about 3 or 4 times now and it holds up each time - Iâd recommend checking out Zahlerâs other flicks too ⌠especially âDragged across concreteâ ⌠youâre in for a treat if you havenât seen it yet.
Yeah, the slightly weird handheld shots and the very washed-out colour palette put me off at first but I soon warmed up to it.
I saw this one a while ago and enjoyed it. For me, the coolest thing was the atmosphere
