Frightening/Intense Scenes: This film is very Psychological and frightening, some woman that have been in abusive relationship might find this film is a little too close to home, so viewer direction is advise

Likes: Hand down one of the thee best Psychological horror thrillers written and directed by Leigh Whannell who has done a fantastic job in delivering a emotional intense film from the Book by H.G.Wells.
First i want to say that this film theme might be a little close to home for some people that have been in abusive relationship it might trigger some bad memory's, though the film doesnt show the abuse you can tell there has been abuse by the amazing and convincing Acting from actress Elisabeth Moss, who through out the whole film brought some of the best acting ive seen in a while.
The way she portray a desperate woman trying to escape her abusive husband only to find her self being stalked by something unseen is incredible acting. Its also the way the film is done with the camera work so well done it make you paranoid just watching it. Its the way it doesnt just stick with the characters the camera would pan across the room and stop at a certain point giving the impression that something or someone is in the room, it clever filming because you make you throughout the film watching every corner, corridor and doors making your paranoid which put you in the shoe of Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth).
I've gotta say this film is not afraid to go to places where it gets extremely dark and extremely intense, with some Gory as hell scenes with some creepy as hell moments that really set the tone for this film.The visual effects are Spot on as well, so you might be thinking this will be just another Poor execute film but you miss this one your be missing out of a fantasy film that really keeps you on the edge.
This is a new take on a classic universal monster that you will not want to miss and it's definitely worthy of going to see in the theater, especial with it psychological tone that will keep you on edge and the dark undertone of the story giving an amazing performance throughout that you will be watch you own home for a while after.
Dislikes: There are some part of the film if you go in with logical thinking, that these small parts might be a little disbelieve-able but as a whole the film is good.
Overall: Amazing Directing and screen writing, Dark psychological film
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9.4 out of 10 for psychological horror.
