Brilliant in how much tension is created within such sparse surroundings. It's a slow, slow burn that is gripping from the first instance and never lets up. Loved it.

The Director's Commentary for this film is a brilliant insight into the film making processes used. Worth the repeat viewing alone.

I saw a long time ago and I only remembered how it starts and how it ends. Great Direction + Great Script + Great Actors = Great Movie
