(This review may contain spoilers).
While I was watching this film, I couldn’t help remembering all of the horror movies where the characters go into basements, or dark houses, and completely forget how to turn the lights on. I was glad to see that there were reasons for lights not to work in this film.
Although I didn’t understand how the first scene fit in with the rest of the film at first, it did succeed in pulling me into the plot straight away.
I felt it was good how the two main characters were introduced separately. They were both fairly interesting characters and I felt that the actors who played them did so really well.
I would have liked to see more of the family relationship with the policeman and his wife and daughter. I did like his friendship with his partner, though, and the easy banter between them.
There were some quite jumpy moments in this film and I felt the special effects worked really well. I recognised the actors who played the main characters from other things and I did feel that the characters were really complex and had more depth to them.
I think this film is one I’d watch again. There were some violent, gory moments in this, but if you like horror movies with a bit more depth to them, I’d recommend this as one to watch.
