- Smart thriller with a twist that enlivens the stock characters and situations of which it is made; the mood is hysterical and the direction embraces the style of horror movies.

  Too Strange
  
  The way this was cut made me dizzy and it didn't make me want to see the end. I'd rather see a Hitchcock movie for sure.
