    This was way better than expected, but I shouldn’t have been surprised. Ryuhei Kitamura has shown what he can do with low budgets and limited spaces. He creates good suspense and isn’t shy with the gore. It helps that he had Luke Evans in the lead role. Evans oozes menace and sex in this.

    On second watch, it’s about the same as first watch. Although my appreciation of Phyllis Smith and Lucy Punch has grown considerably. The first time around, it was a C + movie. That grade remains the same.

    Rewatching this for the 30th time and feeling like the youngster who saw it for the 1st time. Isn’t that what a classic is?

    This had me right from the beginning.

    Beautifully photographed using great locations. The performances whether they were real actors or not seemed perfect to me. The music was so intricate to it. At times I wondered if I should mute it and then I realized how emotional it was to it. 

    See you down the road, Swankie!!
