EDIT:
Your description of the term fits it perfectly, but doesn't nessacarily have to be read. In this case, it's voiced. And apparently it ruins the who-dunnit or big realization at the end. Mostly when something is mentioned, it's meant to be picked up, but I guess this was a mistake on the whole movie's part. The director even admits it.

Uh, alright. Do I have the wrong movie or something? Can't be. Since I remember the comment about Keifer's watch. So it seems none of you know? When I find out, I'll post it here so you guys don't think I'm completely retarded.
Okay.

"I have just obtained this film on DVD and want to watch it a.s.a.p. but before I do, I need one of you to answer this question:
I have heard that the narration at the beginning gives away (unecessarily?) some of the (surprising?) plot elements that are revealed later on in the film and, furthermore, some fans turn the volume off/down until the narration is over.
If this is true, can anyone tell me long it lasts?
Thanks"

"1min 30 seconds
or unMUTE as soon as you see the doctor look at his watch.
its VERy spoilerific. i didnt fully "get" the spoil till i watched it but yes, definately mute it if you want to see it without realising the ending before the movie begins."
AND
"Yes, that is true, Im a fan of the movie. you could check my other posts after watching lol, im just being like narcisitic.But yes you should skip until Keifer looks at his watch,It's kind of a standard to tell people that who have never seen the film.It is amazing.And truthfully i wish u would look at my other comments on the film after seeing it and what u think about it.".

"Just a hint to anyone who hasn't seen this movie before...
This is an amazing movie IF you skip past the voice-over intro. Fast forward until you see the opening credits. Otherwise the mystery of the movie is ruined. I don't know why the makers of this film decided to let out all the secrets and explain everything before you see the movie for itself, it's like skipping to the end of the book to find out whodunnit---perhaps they had no faith in the intelligence of movie goers... I don't know- but I promise that if you don't listen to the explanation at the beginning of the movie, you won't be disapointed!"
