    Do you ever wake in the middle of the night, hear a sound in your home and become convinced that there's someone downstairs? Your heart starts to beat faster, the hairs on your arm begin to stand, your breathing quickens.

    I had forgotten how well it builds tension. From the opening text crawl onwards something just seems......off
