The film carefully blends the suspense of a thriller with the all out fright of a horror movie. With perfectly placed scares, that will make you jump just enough in your seat, to a mind boggling story you cannot imagine to actually be based on real events it provides the necessities to keep you in the moment. Its main fault, and what ultimately makes it only worthy of a small part of your time, is as it progresses it moves far away from the believable and into the world of the strange and indescribable. To take liberty with a story in order to make it more cinematic is at times necessary, but this film goes one step too far.

If it is true that films based on actual events are scarier than those created from the imagination this one only secures the consensus.

With a wealth of corpses that have had words (if you can call them that) etched into the skin upon death the movie surpasses the ordinary in make-up effects. The effect not only disturbs you as a viewer but it adds a level of horror based on the pure fact that this happened to people. The movie magic the make-up creates in this film is just that, magical; in the most disgusting, disturbing, and frightening way possible.
