Totally agree with you - I liked it a lot

Strangely, it seemed to be available on iTunes for rental even before it hit the theaters in the U.S., and that's how I saw it - via iTunes rental.

I agree that the director had a great way of maintaining the underlying tension and low-level sense of dread. I also thought it was a brilliant stroke to isolate the environment to a rich family's estate, thereby avoiding the hackneyed scenes of people panicking in the streets or the president deciding to send nuclear missiles or other such clichés.

Very powerful overall - I kept thinking about it for days afterward. At the same time, I must say that my wife was not as impressed, considering the film merely "interesting" rather than compelling.
