The Abandoned (2006)

Wow, that was quite the spookfest.

This is a weirdly odd little film, it doesn't start out that way but around the last 10-20 minutes
its like a true decent into madness. But it also is a film that is very very well done
it has stunning sweeping shots and beautiful cinematography with alot of nice camera
work and a very haunting sound both in sound design and in the very subtle score.
The movie also is disturbingly atmospheric and has this spooky dark creepiness about it
that you know something is going to happen and you don't want to take your eyes off it
not even for a second. Also there seemed to be alot of symbolism in this also... I don't
know if I truly picked up on what it was trying to mean but you could tell it was
showing you something was important. This also has some nice effects as well
it wasn't heavy on the effects but when it did something it was quite impressive.
there were plenty of moments where I was "whoa no way!" or "huh? that's crazy!"
the movie almost seems to pride itself on these and I was freaking out a bet here and there
One of the scenes I thought was pretty good on the wow was the bullet scene where the
character of Nicolai was fixing his leg wound I was thinking "Man, this guys tough!"
but this was a wonderful Horror movie for the Ghost/Haunted House type
I would have to say I did enjoy it, even thought the ending was kind of weird
but that was ok.
