Scott Hardie: “It ruled.”

This film deserves all the praise it is getting for being gripping and bleak, and especially for being ambitious; until the end it avoids so many clichés of the genre. It never even gives us a clear look at a violent act (and there are many), preferring to make its impact with style and immediacy. Don't believe the buzz that it's a scary film, though; it's a drawn-out character study with a horror-film premise. A more interesting lead actor would have improved it, but my biggest gripe is how quickly it thinks men would turn into rapists with the lid of society taken off.
