Marc Blucas (best known from Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Riley Finn) acts superbly. Even when it is obvious he is an obnoxious and arrogant man you will
sympathize with him. Of course he is helped by the wonderful
screenplay. But still it is an excellent performance. The pace of the
movie is quite fast. The tension starts early and building up to the
climax. When you think you know everything the story immediately goes
another direction. The twists and turns are handled with care so that
you don't loose the plot. At one occasion the main character is sent a
video which he plays to find out really disturbing. Suggesting there
are supernatural elements involved. You have to see it to believe it.
But it did freak me out a bit. As a fanatic thriller and horror fan
this is not easy to do! The particular scene lifts this movie to an
ever higher level and me wanting to find out what the hell was going
on. (It is a shame that they don't explain how they achieved the
effect, but I didn't mind since it intensified the viewing experience a
lot.) This movie surely delivers on the thrilling part. So definitely a must watch!
