A scary psychological film set in a dystopian future world where everything is controlled by the government, and everybody is watched for signs of dissent. Very well acted and makes you think, but personally I thought that it was quite disturbing. There are parts where you are literally on the edge of your seat as it is very intense, but I had to look away in some of the scenes later on in the film. Would not recommend to people who are very sensitive or squeamish, but otherwise a very good film; very atmospheric and surreal in some scenes.
