 Rated 9/10
Violent, grim, disturbing, but really quite brilliant.

This is one that has you sitting mesmerised and mostly open mouthed, unable to take your eyes away from the screen as this deeply atmospheric journey into darkness sets out apparently as one kind of film, but gradually mutates into an altogether different movie over is duration.

In the face of it, it's about a man struggling to deal with the aftermath of having shot an intruder in his own home while his family slept... So you think it's going to be an anti gun meditation piece... But then it shifts into a kind stalker horror revenge movie, as someone was clearly but happy with him for his actions, before shifting even more, by turns, into a conspiracy mystery, then finally an all out revenge movie, with savage twists that are not for the feint hearted.

I sat and watched it first time round having known nothing about it going in, but found it a brutally refreshing, and compelling watch.

Strange that more was not made of it at the time, but in time, I think this will be considered an absolute classic of its era.
