I love the slow burn of this film as we see the building gradually put the zap on these guys, driving them crazy. The atmosphere of this film is really well done and Anderson builds the tension over time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852632683063463097.post-43864783307198544902010-05-02T12:44:46.326-05:002010-05-02T12:44:46.326-05:00Wow.

I watched it around the same time that I watched the awful movie Hostel, and the two movies share a space in my brain due to both depicting eastern europeans as vile sub-humans and both using graphic, wanton torture to disgust and bore the audience.<br />On your recommendation, however, I will check out Session 9.N L J Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070307992246817895noreply@blogger.com
