| Movies like this, which don't fall into the big budget release category, are a genre unto themselves. This is not your typical, slick buckets-of-blood Hollywood horror thriller. There's a wonderful sense of intimacy and as one reviewer has noted, real craftsmanship about this rather scarey movie. It has a charm of its own. It also has a memorable film score by John Massari, a wonderful composer who deserves much more critical acclaim. The score is understated and subtle, rather than a lot of overdone, in-your-face movie soundtracks. It draws you in and keeps you riveted; it complements this little gem of a film. |
