REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 14-May-2006) This movie is one of the best sci fi
genre movies ever made. It is not the traditional space ships and
aliens fare. Instead, as a viewer, you get the feeling you are
observing someone's private nightmare. It is very well done, from the
casting, the acting, the cinematography, the screenplay, etc. This
ranks high on my list for its artsy factor too. The cinematography
gives us many wonderful examples of German expressionism style
distorted buildings. If I had three thumbs, I'd give it three thumbs up.
Do you know something we don't?
