Both of his films (so far) are the only horror flicks that left me feeling uncomfortably uneasy, but also exhilarated with the respect for a well made movie - something that's incredibly rare in the genre.
probably not for everyone...especially for those fans of the genre that measure the worth of a horror film by a slasher's teen body count.

Let me ask you this: would someone who doesn't really care for gore like it? I'm good with psychological horror, not so much with gore anymore. Not that it bothers me, but, I don't consider it to be horror. Just gross.
