    Just watched this this evening..

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_QqA0sDMec


    Do bear in mind that the trailer is INCREDIBLY misleading.. everything in the trailer is the first 30 minutes. Everything after that is where things get more interesting!

    This is the latest movie from Pascal Laugier who previously made the uber-disturbing (and one of the more impressive horrors of the last few years) 'Martyrs'.

    Everything about the trailer says horror, but the movie is far from it really. You'll see the same silhouette / cloaked figure a hand full of times and that's it.

    This is a film that tells me two things:

    a) Pascal Laugier is NOT a one-trick-pony - he does horror well.. but can't help but think he also can provide some truly original storymaking. And I do expect the IMDb rating to shoot up a bit on release (5.8 currently), and I'd be suprised if it's not got a 7 or above.
    b) Jessica Biel is suprisingly damn good in this. And it really shocked me to say that.

    This movie isn't gonna change your life, but it compelled me to start a thread. Take a chance on it - it's well worth seeing!

    EDIT: From a quick glance of reviews, I might be the only one that enjoyed it.. ah well! :( The majority of reviews seem to be disappointed at it's lack of scares... I mean it's not a horror.. at least not IMO.

    EDIT 2: Although I loved The Guardian dissecting the horrible trailer and dismissing it outright.
