    Very unconvincing.
    The director and the writers thougt that if one overdramatises expressions of the protagonists, the suspense will be elevated even more. Well I think that they are wrong. The high-pitched yelling and crying just irritated me. If one enjoys being irritated, than this is the perfect movie. Started as an 8, petered out as a 6.
