I've watched the DVD several times and I like it more each time. Each time you notice more subtleties in the characters and direction. Its one of my favorite horror flicks of the decade. Kitamura ditched his knack for humor and tongue in cheek cheesiness and he delivered a moody and elegantly done horror movie (his best film ever, IMO). He captures the tone of Clive Barker perfectly. This film is definitely the mark of a film maker maturing in a big way.

Slightly off topic, but I still long the day to see Clive Barker's Godzilla script

btw, I think i just realized (and then hated myself to coming to this realization) that the reason I get so mad about all these good movies not getting big enough releases is that then I have to pay to see them, whether it's via just balling up and buying the DVD or renting it from my local video store...

stupid things that cost money... :lol:

^^he's right. I will see it even though slasher flicks aren't my bag. It does look deliciously twisted though.
