WHAT CRITICS SAY
„Den größten Schrecken erzeugt das, was man nicht sieht. Man glaubt auf den Gesichtern der Menschen zu sehen, dass sowieso kein Bild an den Horror ihrer Erinnerung herankommen könnte. Diese Zurückhaltung, die Ruhe des ganzen Filmes, hebt ihn ab von den Bildern, die normalerweise über unsere Fernsehbildschirme flackern.“
