Good trailer. Most trailers for Sci-Fi & Horror films are utterly dismal (& I am a huge fan of the good stuff). I want to check it out.

that is freaking cool. what a great concept. it seems like a great use of scaring people with what you don't show them, no over the top effects required.

There is a bit of history here too:

So its sort of, kind of, in a way, vaguely educational. With cool special effects.

ok, some eq2 friends of mine just got to see it at comicon, and they ALL give it two thumbs up! these guys(and gals) are "worst case scenario" super duper geeks and a couple are tragic movie snobs. I have very high hopes for this movie based on their reviews. just scored a bag of nl#5 and it's movietime! :D

My review:

FUCKING AWESOME.

What a film. Brutal. Just brutal. So nice to see some fresh ideas. The metaphor in the film is readily apparent, but you may have a lot of conflicting emotions.
