A circuitous, curious hybrid.
A gleefully gory slasher-horror that satirises the property bubble and piles up the bodies in the process. Not for the faint of heart.
Its anarchistic spirit is refreshing, its morals repellent, its trail is bloody indeed.
Pang's film may be heavy-fisted with the satire and foggily plotted, too, despite the lengthy flashbacks, but no one could doubt his commitment to the death rattle.
The unsettling thing is that, as in Peeping Tom, our feelings for the killer aren't entirely unsympathetic.
Not one to watch on a full stomach, or if you’re house-hunting, but horror fans will think they’ve made the find of the year.
A snooze of a sob story.
Less Location, Location, Location, more Exploitation, Exploitation, Exploitation.
It's sick and surprising stuff to be sure, but in a good way.
The overly clever construction works against making (the main character) a sympathetic figure.
It is so grimly explicit that I couldn't watch at times but there's a nice twist in the tale.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
