A beautifully crafted mystery with chills and suspense in the vein of Hitchcock. A throwback, to thrillers of old, that has more style and sophistication than any your bound to ever set eyes on.

I watched this movie on the plane the other day, trying to find something to keep me awake (as sleep on an airplane never leaves you rested, but merely with a stiff body).

What I saw was, however - to my positive surprise - much more than just something to pass time, as I actually enjoyed it a lot.

I find the plot quite fascinating and very original, and it has, with its unpredictability, more than just a few surprises in store. Granted, there are a few inconsistencies with the storyline, but I didn't see them as a big problem, as the movie, as a whole, works.

All in all, a really good horror thriller, which keeps you guessing till the very end.

Let me start with the GOOD POINTS: 1) Good leading actors who acted naturally and were credible. Although I felt that the too much focus was givem to the actress's cleavage. She is a beautiful woman. There s no need to get viewer's attention to something else than her face.

2) Nice, dark atmosphere and surroundings.

3) Feeling of desperation, fear - needed in horror.

BAD:

1) The ending. Too much of a coincidence and twists (blind neighbour's secret - why would she do that, mother-son situation)

2) Mystery man who followed her (Why would he do that? Especially as he couldn't know she was going blind at first)

3) Affair thing - very unconvincing for me

4) Her husband's suicide - not exactly explained. How could this thin man hang him? If it was him? Or why would her husband kill himself? Out of guilt? I don't get that.

5) Lea girl and her weird behavior. Couldn;t she warn Julia just after she went out of her father's house. Why wait and braek into somebody's house?

So, not exactly a good movie, although seems so at the beginning.
