    Unstoppable Thrill Ride!

    Each and every moment is amped up to the max that you will feel something at any point, and it will click with you. It starts out pretty hazy and chaotic, but once you settle in, the movie becomes a thrill ride. The constant snowy atmosphere, the grim hospital lighting, the disgusting autopsies and the overall journey of the protagonists is pretty solid and first class thriller stuff. I truly enjoyed it.

    Some flaws would be that there are many annoying red herrings to distract the viewer, and the ending seemed to be a cop-out and felt a little cheesy. Anyways, thriller fans must really check this out.

    Not another Serial killer movie..!!!

    Its hard to watch if u r weak hearted or weak stomach because of detailed autospy scenes and brutal murder scenes... And story and screenplay also make you confuse if u r not watch too closely.. In my point of view i dont like bgm and some scenes looks artificial and there is no surprising twists...but still its watchable and not for family audience..

    Thriller ... So Cold...

    Very tense thriller if you have the stomach for it.Some nice twists, a good portion of humor.Nothing really special or outstanding though that would make it a 7 or higher.

    Pulling you into it more and more.

    So definitely and by far this is not a perfect movie, yet it was a thrilling ride, with many unexpected turns and a satisfying ending.

    European cinema is growing more and more, after showing some great horror examples, lately the thriller part is starting to develop nicely, thus I am sure we're going to be top notch in a few... well decades I perhaps. So ok, Asian cinema is great on its own, Europe just needs to develop its own traditions, ways.

    Examples like Cut Off and The Guily clearly show the potential, thus I feel obliged to recommend this one. Sure, it may seem a tad bit too long at times but overall I think it was an captivating ride. It sort of reminds me of The Call or Kidnap, great style and substance, in smaller such productions.

    Cheers!
