Your Opinions and Comments
While not really a horror, the movie includes several horror elements, but manages to remain coherent most of the time.
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs and the picture looks crystal clear. The de-saturated colors help create the gloomy atmosphere of the psych ward.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very good. The surrounds are used occasionally and create a nice enveloping sound.
The menus are animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary by the director and the director of photography, and also a Limp Bizkit music video.
Bottom line - an interesting movie with a nice script and some decent acting. Too bad the disc isn`t that rich of extras.
