    Superb acting by all actors, introduces the characters well. Wonderfuly shot and directed. Very gory and kept me interested all through the movie. A must see, but not for the weak stomach. ^_^

    Great movie. I cant remember what brought me to first watch it, but when I did, I was entirely surprised how much I liked it. The music is very alluring and fits extremely well. The acting was great, story was unique, I

    Strikingly original, gorgeous cinematography, authentic costume design, excellent performances. This is one of those movies that will become better known and appreciated as time goes by. Apparently not many people knew what to make of it in 99.

    Absolutely wonderful film. The acting is great and the story is awesome. The more I watch this film the more I love it. Now if only they would release it on Bluray already

    This is an underated gem of a film, with a brilliant soundtrack by Nyman and Albarn. It's original and creative approach constantly surprises, it never resorts to the cliche conventions of the horror genre, original directing and fantastic acting by Carlisle an d Pearce.

    At its best when it’s least overtly allegorical--and fortunately that’s most of the time.

    Has all the ingredients for a cult film success but most definitely is not for everyone. It's stylish, sophisticated, venturesome--to say the least.

    Bird's grim, picture-perfect direction -- the Sierras are more character than backdrop, and everything else looks like it's already been digested and expelled -- augments what is frankly a small, albeit lusterless, gem of a horror show, for once with as many smarts as body parts.
