Just rented this last night and was very disturbed after seeing it. I knew it would be dark and I usually don't mind types of films that make you think about deeper issues. I enjoyed "Crash" and "Babel" Well maybe I watched this one at a bad time but I couldn't enjoy anything about the movie. I guess it was just too depressing. I couldn't find anything hopeful or redeeming in any of the characters except maybe a little in the one who gets killed.

I had a different take on most of the characters. It showed how each of the main players were effected in some way by the dead girl. And I think at the end of each segment, each person was appreciating being alive a little more than they were at the beginning of their segments. The part that disturbed me the most was how normal the killer's life was...that could be the the guy in the take out line ahead of you...and then of course watching the final scene knowing what we knew by that time...

I saw it the day it came out around Christmas, so the particulars are a little vague to me right now, except I think it was one of those movies that played backward in events at some parts. I do remember leaving the theatre with a horrible feeling, but I was expecting that. I thought Toni Collette did fantastic job in her role as the woman who discovered the body.

This was under my radar for a long time, but when I did a search to find out about it, and realized who was in the cast, and that it was an unusual movie, I had to see it. I'm glad I did, it was very well done. I think the only part of the movie that was out of time sequence was the very last segment.

Ooops, Lycanthrope...you forgot about the whole "getting to know the killer" scenes. Those were out of sequence, too.

They were? Well, I'll probably watch it half a dozen more times in the next few months, so I'll probably get a better feel for the sequencing.
