    A terrifying story, made all the more chilling by being based on a true story. Brilliantly acted, atmospherically dense. The therapist has such scary eyes!!

    Like the best of the Cohen brothers.

    The stakes are so high, the atmosphere filled with dread. Doesn't shy away from anything: cringe, intensity, psychological mind games... Most of the twists happen within the heads of these well thought out characters--heroes, antiheroes, villains? Who do you want to win or lose? What's real and what isn't?

    Really amazing work.

    Its hermetic style would work as a play also, I think. Very cool.

    I had no idea where this film was going and loved it too.

    A symbolic, irreversible journey into the underworld for redemption, in exploitation style. Razor-sharp dialogue, the violence both excessive and oddly fake making it border on the surreal, and yet somehow the whole thing is so goddamn FUN too.

    Instant classic.

    Vince Vaughn = weird choice though. Wedding Crashers 3: Prison Crashers!
