One of the best eerie horror films in ages.
(SPOILERS)
Nicely restrained black humour, some hysterically effective performances (especially from the wife when she loses it, and the brother), and nice use of the limited sets to convey the uncertainty of what is waiting in the ominous darkness.
The ending was a perfectly reasonable revelation, the only slight problem being the cliched representation of "death" - all black and sophisticated like - which maybe cheapened the message a little.
But overall upon reflection, most of the film being set in the void between life and death is very interesting.
