    First, don't go down the comments due to a major spoiler. Now having that said, I have to agree with others who said this is not their favorites. It's however an easy 8/10. Contradictory I know, but this movie pioneering and really clever twist influenced so many filmmakers, also when watching this in pitch blackness and headphones several moments sent chills down my spine, only because of the music, the make up and the ambient...So good? Yes. Classic? Yes! However... I think most of us agree that this film has not aged very well. 10 years 8 months ago

    The set design was absolutely fantastic! It was worth watching purely for that reason, though I loved the story as well! 8 years 4 months ago
