Advantages: Great tension building, good gore factor, VERY imaginitive
Disadvantages: Low budget, clichéd in places

I had heard alot about this film before I watched it. Everyone mention the infamous 'inverted beartrap' scene, or the barbed wire scene. If you're a lover of gorey horrow films this will not dissapoint! Some of the most evil killings I've seen. Wan has done a great job of tension building.

Advantages: great film, great story line
Disadvantages: if you dont like blood dont watch

the film at first was a great but confusing opening, this film gets you thinking for example how the hell did they get there? it is a gripping film thorough out the whole of the film which will keep you in your seats right through till the very end of the film. There is little twists and turns as there is not much time left till the end. This is a must see film i would not recommend it if you do not like blood and well i shall leave the rest for you ...
