great horror film: tense, good characterization, kind of slow-burn.

This is one of those horror films that makes you care about the characters and spends time letting you in their relationship, which makes the film even more tense and creepy!

I think it was just right how much they showed us and how much they kept ambiguous. One thing I didn't like was how the film was marketed. The tagline is "after the ceremony comes the ritual", which doesn't really have much to do with the film, not to mention it spoils the mystery a bit.

What's the ambiguity you got from this film?

We've met before, haven't we?

I can't believe it's just at 5.8 at imdb. I loved the movie. Great acting, slow and suspenseful, intelligent story. And finally a movie that doesn't explain every last detail to "de-mystify" his atmosphere.

I really hope to see more movies from Leigh.

I agree, I loved it. I kind of wanted a semi happy ending, maybe one where he lived but she got taken anyway..but oh well.

maybe the "ceremony" they're talking about is the wedding ceremony, & the "ritual" is the honeymoon? it's still a pretty bad tag line, because it comes off as if there's going to be some other sort of horror ritual also, but there wasn't anything very ritualistic about it...
