This rather unclassifiable movie is a deep and disturbing thriller, free of all kinds of clichés. Well-written and gripping, it draws the viewer into a twisted world that could be surrounding any of us. While not for lazy, easy-going audiences and despite a few hesitant moves, it's well worth watching for new ideas and its unique ability to be both horrifying and funny at the same time.
