This is a very strange movie , but not in the confusing way, It just has a very disturbing atmosphere. This is a very different kind of horror film, because it has so much more depth than other horror films. Actually you can't even call this movie a horror film, because it isn't. You can't classify this kind of a movie, it is just very different. I enjoyed this film and the dvd had some nice extras for a unknown movie, that really explained more about the production of the film. I Recommend this film to anyone who can appreciate a different kind of horror film.
Also, no animals were actually killed in the making of this film. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The thing I liked best about this film is that a lot is left to your imagination. Yes there is nudity and one sex scene, but it is not gratuitous at all. And no gore or violence at all. Most of this movie is suggestion which makes it that much more intruiging in my opinion. This is an atmospheric film that will keep your attention. If you are a movie buff, you will love this film. If you are a Tom Cruise/Julia Roberts film kind of person, you will probably not be into this at all. Oh, and about the animals, there is one scene with live animals, and you never ever see them being hurt... again, just the suggestion of it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I've seen many positive reviews of this film, but these pertain to the director's cut, not the theatrical release. Blockbuster sent me the theatrical release, which is predictable, tedious and boring, but with lots of naked chicks so it's not a complete loss. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Read More This was a tough movie to score but I guess I'll give it a six rating. If you like the movie too much though you almost have to be considered a perv due to the excessive nudity. The story is really mind boggling and unsettling, and at parts I wondered if the movie was a musical. The ending was so well done, that it rates up there for one of the greatest endings. At parts its boring, and has no gore but on the flip side it has above average acting and dialog, and one hell of an ending. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Some people miss this movie entirely by their ignorant and obtrusive ratings. This is actually based on reports ofreal incidences that can and may be taking place in parts of the world. With all the secrets of people living on a Mount Olympus and not having to answer to anyone for anything and being so far into their occult beliefs, this movie can be taken literally if not frightenly obvious.
