sort of playing the devils advocate here a bit because i'm still exploring why people didnt like the movie ... when i thought it was the answer to what i've been looking for in a horror film ..
the thing is .. i had no trouble keeping up - or understanding the ending ..
not to mention that in a 'stylish' foreign ghost film that the need to explain everything just isnt there ...
i understand some people dont like the style over substance approach ... but when you think of it .. thats mostly what the genre is all about ..
nothing in a horror movie makes a damn bit of sense ..
... but you have to see my point that not being able to follow a movie because it made a choice to jump back and forth in time .. ...certainly doesnt make it sloppy ... i found it incredibly tight ... sloppiness doesnt equate non linear ...
i would think sloppiness means that there would be visible of evidence of lack of care or skill on the part of the filmmaker ...
