Horrorphile’s two cents: The elliptical editing that occurs sporadically throughout contributes to the movie’s oppressive atmosphere of dreamlike unease, as does the frosty imagery of the surrounding forest and the childrens' abandoned toys. The moments of extreme violence pack some serious punch, and whilst not lingeringly graphic, they’re still horrendous (watch out for the ocular horror!)
