Late night, Brakes lock,
Hear the tires squeal,
Red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel,
My world goes Black before I
Feel an Angel lift me up,
And I open Bloodshot eyes,
Into fluorescent White,
Flip the Siren, Hit the Lights,
Close the doors and I am Gone

The Band of the week is... Thrice

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

and make sure you take a paper bag to contain your vomit...

It was extremely nauseating for me. Generally I am fine with Shaky-cam, but they went a little too far here. Not only did I have my eyes closed for more than half the film, the nausea continued after the film and ruined my whole day. (yes, I watched this middle of the day.)

It was a novel and unique experiment in film making. where is completely ignored the "main people", which I liked. It is not everyday you see this side in cinema.

As for not mentioning the plot (or calling it story telling) in this post.. what plot?

The film did not manage to totally avoid cliché either... everybody knows what happens in horror movies when you get bit. Unless they are in one.

What? The camera was just as shaky as in Mission Impossible 3...
Seriously, I wouldn't want to see this in the theatre for that reason, but it's fine on a TV.

Same here, and I liked it very much.

I probably linked to my review back when the movie first came out, but even if I did no reason not to do so again.
