• Brilliant movie
  I absolutley loved this movie, it is one of the best horror/thrillers I have seen for a long time. Macaulay Culkin is great as the cute-but-evil Henry as is Elijah Wood as Mark, the protagonist. I thought they both did a great job as portraying beleivable charactors (especially considering that they were six years too young to legally watch their own movie).

It had me griped and pleading for someone to believe Mark (Wood) as the story progressed. Its dark and an intresting site on youngs boys out at play in the wonderfull setting of this film.
