Description: What stands out in the first place – the integrity and rectitude simply terrifying adorable without extraordinary mystery – Jessica really mentally healthy, this one is not going to argue . Title fully justifies its content , and , I confess, it pleases to the fullest. Here it is the viewer simply stares on, hoping at least for some explanation , but then everything gets even more complicated , and we like Jessica herself , just trying to comprehend what is happening : the corpses ? Ghosts ? Vampires ? What else is present to us this tape ?
Atmosphere of terror created just awesome : a long time I have not experienced this feeling of anxiety in anticipation of something frightening . This despite the fact that the film focuses explicitly image , namely, self-hypnosis audience – say , hold on, now would be scary. And this move triggered a hundred percent ! However, we should mention some moments , escapes from the viewer at first, but did not meaningful until the very end . For example, what role was played by the same girl in a white dress , met Jessica ?
However , we must pay tribute to the creators : despite the slightly odd behavior of the characters tape (especially Jessica always enigmatic smile , even in moments of fear that it might explain a shaky psyche ) , the film was an excellent horror , capable even after so many years to make the viewer not just see and forget , but try to understand the essence and answer questions posed by Jessica in the final. In general , it is amazing .

Outstanding low-budget horror. Based on the title and art, I never would’ve taken a chance on it. I’m glad I did, though. The film is much more than its lame title, and although it does deal with a “sane or mad?” premise, it perfectly walks the line without seeming annoyingly arty or trying to provide a cheap, unsatisfying ending. Very highly recommended.
