This looks excellent


Hopefully Joel won't get typecast after this; it would be nice if Hollywood will see him as a "versatile actor" and not the perfect psycho to put in every mind-game thriller.

Five years on, I assume you've seen this by now? Joel David Moore did an excellent job in this, but it probably won't do much to break him out of the psycho mode because he plays it so convincingly here.

This film is very strong on atmosphere and texture, which makes the loose ends not only acceptable but desirable. Not a perfect film, but a worthwhile one. 7/10 stars from me.
