This film I found to be very dark and disturbing and yes at times, rather nasty, although the nastiness is implied, not really on screen (no gore but the thought of a middle aged woman masturbating really plays with you). This movie was dark for all the right reasons and really is a good story if you don't mind being left chilled. This movie really isn't a horror film but it really shouldn't be watched right before going to sleep or if YOU yourself is rather depressed. It will play with you. But, it was a good thought provoking and disturbing movie. I am wondering if this film was a made for television film or perhaps just made to look dark and grainy for the right reasons. Excellent film making.
