I couldn't find anything in a search, so here is the official movie thread. I am going to a screening of it tonight, and am very excited! Is anyone else interested in this movie, produced by Del Toro, the director of "Pan's Labyrinth"?

He can't read subtitles?

It's a very smart thriller. I dug it. Not award-candy like Pan's, but still very strong film.

he's not that much of a movie person, so a movie he has to actually work for isn't likely to pique his interests.

I got back to my house about 30 minutes ago. It is a very good film. It was shot, acted and, scored magnificently. And it was scary as Hell. I never, ever jump at films, and I jumped TWICE.. My heart was racing.

At the same time as the ghost story is unfolding, so is a dynamic family drama. It combines the two genres relatively well and effectively overlaps them.

I loved it because the tension just builds and builds into a seat - gripping climax

The ending was unexpected, but appropriate and very moving.

I haven't been so involved in a psychological thriller in a long time.

Thanks, Pippin. I am very, very excited now.
