Nerve-frying. A top-rate, crackling white-knuckle thriller - I realize I'm probably alone in this but afterwards I was left literally trembling, breathless, and in tears of sheer anxiety. By the time the end credits had rolled my fist had gradually clenched so much so that I'd actually dug into the skin with my fingernails without realizing it. Paranoia sets in as early as the very first frames and doesn't let go for the entire not-a-minute-wasted runtime - carried so well by these three galactic performances. I'm impressed with how self-assured this type of sincerely unique filmmaking is a solid year before we'd have that 'horror renaissance' everyone talks about: those uncomfortable shots, nervous editing, and sickly color palette all add into something to behold - a truly wired, uneasy experience unlike many I've ever seen. And then on top of all of that it's just good ole' unpretentious fun - never for a second knew where it was headed and revels in such an animalistic sense of seeing how much mental sadism they can put these people through. Took me some time to fully grasp its vision, but once I did I was all in - may need to sit on this one for a while.
