Stop-motion, chilling techniques, babbling crazy people and pictures drawn of scenes that turn into deadly attacks almost made me walk out of this film in the first few minutes. Only by telling myself 1) It's only a movie, and 2) Someone always survives a horror film, did I manage to stay in my seat. I'm not sure what it was that I read of the description in the guide this year that made me think that this was my kind of film, but I managed to make it all the way through without screaming out loud once, and I managed to get onto the subway to get to my next film without feeling unduly afraid.....unlike what Creep did to me a few years back, where I had to take the bus home that night and was grateful for it, and was reluctant to get onto the subway the next morning in the light of day with dozens of other people. The film did it's job of a good scare while I watched, but it didn't terrify me after I left the theatre....it seemed to be missing a little of the mental aspect to it's terror.
