THE PLOT THICKENS..........2005-05-07
There is no doubt that this is one of the best films I have seen so far this year (2003) and without a dounbt it is a film I shall watch many more times.
The basic premise of this film is a missing person, whose friends are consistently being hounded by the police, who still have not closed the case, even after several years have elapsed and also the father of the missing teenager. As the film moves on, it is clear that they are hiding something and that "something" has a strong inclination towards being foul play of some sort. After a few mysterious happenings, it is clear that something is wrong and the first and most obvious impression would be that the missing teenager is dead and his vengeful ghost has returned to even the score. If that is the impression you get from watching the first half hour of the film, then I can promise you that you could not be more wrong.
This film is very complex and intelligently plotted and layered, with no wasted characters and unnecessary scenes. It is true to state that I have never seen a film like this, where one plot leads into another and one assumption is proved wrong in favour of another (which is then also proved wrong). The direction of the film changes so many times that it can be difficult to keep pace at time, but that is exactly what is called for, as it really is essential that concentration is not lost for a film like this, which is as complex as some Italian giallo films and certainly as masterful as some of the best contemporary films that have achieved far more spectacle.
As far as scares and spooks are concerned this film does hold a few surprises, but it is the value of the plot and the mystery that kept me watching until the end and I have to admit that I was surprised all the way down the line.
All performances in this film are absolutely top-rate and not to be scoffed at. There is no wasted dialogue and no character that I found to be entirely unnecessary. It also counts for a great deal that none of the characters actually got on my nerves throughout the entire film.
This film gets a full count of 10/10 from me and is not one to be missed.
Standard Horror Film.......2003-12-05
This is another typical horror movie with individuals
being picked off one by one during the course
of the movie - there is a bit of a "twist" to the ending but
not too exciting a "twist".
Level of gore - low blood content
Level of sex - nothing. One relationship is underdeveloped.
Level of suspense - low
Character development - low (moderate in case of protagonist)
