REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 14-May-2006)

This movie is one of the best sci fi genre movies ever made. It is not the traditional space ships and aliens fare. Instead, as a viewer, you get the feeling you are observing someone's private nightmare. It is very well done, from the casting, the acting, the cinematography, the screenplay, etc. This ranks high on my list for its artsy factor too. The cinematography gives us many wonderful examples of German expressionism style distorted buildings. If I had three thumbs, I'd give it three thumbs up.
