I thought it was great

I really like this movie. One of the more underrated thrillers out there.

I love that it didn't stop at just one twist.

I love the simplicity of it. It didn't cheat to hide the twists.

Yes, for once we had a thriller with a compelling setup that absolutely delivers on its mysteries, with crazy twists that all add up to a coherent whole. This is Hitchcock level stuff.

A very underrated film. If this was done today, they would have added multiple stupid plot twists to make it go over-the-top.

It certainly didn’t need any more plot twists, it’s already one of the most twist-heavy films ever made, which is impressive since it’s under 90mins.

I liked it all the way up until the final twist. I thought that one was of the sour, standard horror flavor and cheapened what was otherwise a shlock-free movie. I'm not against multiple twists. They may as well have added another ending in which the little kid grows 500 feet tall and is covered with 3000 +5 swords.
