Balki Bartokomus: Good movie. Robert Haynes: Outstanding, truly disturbing horror/thriller for those tired of pretty boys and girls running away from masked killers - Ian Mckellan is a Godlike actor who oozes screen presence and Brad Renfro holds his own - truly frightening in places - read frightening NOT gruesome - this isn't SCREAM meets anything !
