Critics Reviews

Chicago Tribune
This is one of the real finds of 2008.
Washington Post
In the basest of terms, a horror flick. But it's also a spectacularly moving and elegant movie, and to dismiss it into genre-hood, to mentally stuff it into the horror pigeonhole, is to overlook a remarkable film.

Users Reviews

An odd flic that, although painfully slow at times, managed to keep me fascinated from start to finish. Be sure & watch the Swedish version with subtitles as the English dubbing is terrible.
Don't expect to be blown away, this one is understated and haunting. The contrasts between the characters are nicely noted, the drama moving, the cinematography elegant. It's also quite bloody, so there's something there for everyone.
