Wonderfully suspenseful thriller. A welcome change from the usual torture porn films of late. The director turns all the usual horror cliches on the head and is full of surprise twists and shocks. Wonderfully acted, if a tad slow in places, this is a surprisingly good addition to the genre. Well worth a look.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. It is 2 hours of my life that I will never get back. I must admit, you can't stop watching it because you keep thinking it HAS to get better. And when it doesn't it's terribly disappointing.
Diane R. gave it a0:
Do NOT WASTE your time watching this stupid movie, the actors are the worst I've ever seen, this movie is so BORING!!!
Daniel M. gave it a0:
The woman at blockbuster told me that this was a great movie. I wish I would see her again so I can ask her for my time and money back. SOOO slow and boring. At one point in the movie. It took 10 minutes for someone to stand up and walk into the other room. It was the most painful movie to watch ever.
Chris L gave it a0:
This film is terrible & frustrating. It's not bad in the typical sense of the word (we've all seen bad films right?) This actually made me angry as I watched it, I can't believe it's been released, nothing about the story or the roles is enjoyable. It only gets worse when one of the attackers 'rewinds' the film when something happens he doesn't like. At that point I was ready to take this DVD and burn it in my back yard! A waste of 1hr 40mins of my life.

Listen, this guy thinks violence in entertainment is SO bad he's gonna make a very unsettling movie and show everyone how disturbing it really is. Oh but wait it's not in English we just wouldn't get it if it was in another language. Let's reshoot the same exact movie, shot for shot!! yeah. that'll show those ignorant Americans...come on. unoriginal called guy, if it was really that great of a statement we would of heard of the Austrian version and watched with subs on. no need for this.
John H gave it a1:
Piece of crap. A few wannabeintellectuals think it's artsy because it deals with higher class living. That's it. There's no cleverness. There's no wit. There's no redeeming quality. It's a sick, slow moving "story" about 2 kids who torture & kill a peaceful family in horrific ways. That's it. No plot. Just a hollow, fake writer/director who thinks he's intelligent & profound by looking into the minds of two mentally deranged people. Of course it's fiction, so it's actually all his own mind. Wow, so amazing; must've taken years to come up with that.
