while the film boasts exemplary performances, it fails to register on a level as profound as its source due to its director's sometimes shaky grip on the material
involving and moderately heartwarming here and there, even if doesn't reach the higher levels of psychological insight and emotional profundity to which it aspires
combining a simplistic trajectory with an unshakably creepy aura, the movie leaves the impression that it has more to offer than mere thrills. Despite the plot's extraordinary circumstances
beautifully handled adaptation retains considerable emotional impact as it morphs from a taut survival thriller into a hauntingly conflicted drama of loss, mourning and gradual reawakening
