As long as it truly focuses on panic and human horror, I think it should make a good film. We'll have to check it out sometime this weekend.
It completely focuses on the human drama involved. It's really a gripping, taut suspenseful movie that takes place inside a house. Really top notch filmmaking.

Too bad- there are some good things in there, if you look.

Wristcutters: A Love Story

A whimsically profound story that takes place in a purgatory world where suicides live. What would a world be like that was inhabited only by people who had comitted suicide? It's a pretty funny world, actually- even if nobody ever smiles. This is the driest dark comedy I've ever seen, and the three leads who find themselves on a road trip in this world, each for their own reasons, travelling in a rundown car with a black hole in the floor, are perfectly cast. I particularly enjoyed Eugene, a young musician of Russian ancestry who comitted suicide by pouring beer onto his electric guitar and electrocuting himself.

Tom Waits turns up, as does the guy who played Jerry on ER, and the lead of that awful Fearnet movie Catacombs. Turns out she can really act.

One of the best and most varied assembled soundtracks I've come across, with music by Tom Waits, Artie Shaw, Gram Parsons, Screaming Lord Sutch, Del Shannon, Joe Meek and a trio of tunes by Gogol Bordello, a post-modern Balkan cabaret outfit that add immeasurably to the atmosphere.

Watch this if you get a chance.

If you get to copy and paste your response in the Last Seen Movie thread, does that mean I get to copy and paste my response to your response? :p

I actually bought the DVD and CD for my boyfriend for his Birthday - I'm pretty psyched about giving them to him (he especially loved the soundtrack).
hahaha

Apparently a number of the artists on the soundtrack were suicides. Fascinating.

I thought Wristcutters was a pretty unique film too. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Great soundtrack.

That character was actually based on the lead singer of Gogol Bordello, Eugene Hutz. Hutz is still alive though, just the character personality is based on him.
