Forget the American re-make that was content to let a successful concept do the heavy-lifting at the expense of the art; frisson & tension that had zapped a chilly life into this Scandinavian original. Like ''Hard Candy'', once you've received the gut-punch climax, it can be hard to partake in further viewings with the same level of enjoyment; but if you haven't seen this fantastically dark thriller yet - Don't Miss!!! (If you DID get treated to the Kiefer Sutherland pablum version, take heart in the knowledge that the 'mericans polished all the shocking/insomnia-inducing teeth right off of that KEY climax etc; so no real spoilers there, if you have any reason for any of the underwhelming ingredients of THAT sad knock-off's plot-lines to haunt your memories.) THIS ONE is a CLASSIC of the genre that lingers there long and creepily. Just what the doctor ordered!!
