Director : Scott Derrickson
Running Time : 106 mins
True-crime writer Ellison Oswalt (Hawke) moves his family into a house where a bizarre murder took place. When he discovers a collection of fifty year old 8mm snuff films in the house, he starts to get the idea that the murder he is investigating stems back to at least the 1960s and may in fact be the work of a serial killer rather than just a one-off event.
What starts of as a slightly creepy thriller soon evolves into an out-and-out horror as we are introduced to the supernatural child manipulator, Bughuul. This is well paced and makes for some slightly uncomfortable and jumpy viewing, but a lot of the subtleties are just not subtle enough and could have been handled far better with a little less of the supernatural in the opening to really give the viewers a shook when Bughuul starts to show up.
