IMDB

Frankly, I find some of the reviews of this movie astounding - bad reviews given based on the fact that the film is too disturbing?? Well, the reality of the matter is that some very very disturbing things do happen in life. There are people who choose to do some very evil things to others, for one reason or another. Shutting your eyes to such situations does not make them go away.

I have to admit that had I not seen some people do great evil and managed to come to terms with it after a long time of being very upset, I would not have managed to watch through this movie. It is indeed profoundly disturbing to watch for someone who has not witnessed people do some truly evil things intentionally. However, for those who have, this movie makes a lot of sense, and I personally found the ending very rewarding.

10/10 and highly recommended. But definitely not one to watch unless you are prepared to put in some serious thoughts into why evil exists in this world. So if its existence disturbs you - stay away.
