[_____V_____]

I noticed that there is no separate thread for this flick, and after recently watching it and being suitably impressed, I would like to hear from all those who have seen it already, and from those who plan to.

Like I said in the Last Seen Movie thread, "brutal, hard-hitting, and unflinching". After a long time (read as, after Wolf Creek), I was so much impressed by an independent movie. Empathic and sympathetic characters, horrific and revolting atmosphere which made for some rivetting viewing, and a premise dipped in grounded reality. It not only leaves many questions unanswered when the end credits roll, but provides a glaring picture of societal degradation as we see it today.

But not spoiling it for those who havent seen it...to those who already have, what are your thoughts? Especially about the ending?

I ask that because I have read two distinct lines of thinking about the climax. One side say it was disappointing, given the buildup of the entire flick. The others say it was perfect, and provided to be the most ample and suitable ending, given the premise and the atmosphere. I am of the latter, and I think the ending fitted the atmosphere of the flick quite perfectly. If it was done in any way otherwise, the flick would have been reduced to yet another run-of-the-mill come-and-go flicks of years gone by. And, lets face it, this ending made it all the more human, and chillingly so.
