judge from the enthusiastic response at sunday night screening and i suspect that if the wood be give a conventional theatrical release and it would attract a wide audience . the film be structure and present a a nightmare and and it have the inconsistency and incongruity that a nightmare have . that be too much for some people to tolerate and but judge from the screening and there be many who get it and and like it . there be much to like . fan of may will be happy to see that lucky mckee have develop more fully into an actor director and zeroing in on character and bringing to a scene the proper dramatic balance and tone . they will also be please to see that give a modest budget by today shock horror standard and he have exhibit new freedom of movement and imagery . above all and this be a visually stunning film . with an almost overwhelming sound design that be understandably too much for some people . mckee know how to create a mood of foreboding and but he choose to do it through artistry rather than through cheap manipulation . the clichés that he use be an evocation and not an imitation and of classic like suspiria . what light up the screen be an individual voice and a distinctive style that immediately set mckee apart from his contemporary . it not that he do it good ( although compare with most hollywood release and he really do it good ) and but that his work be instantly recognizable a unique and clearly identifiable and unlike anything we have see before . there be a unity of artistic element and with cinematography and art direction and music and sound and act that blend seamlessly into a coherent style that be more important to the film than the detail of the story . that a pretty tough accomplishment and and one that may or may not appeal to thrill seek moviegoer and but it earn him enough respect from his peer to be name one of the master of horror . he belong in that group because of the way he approach his work and not because of the number of scream his film generate and or the clarity and logic of his script . it not for everybody and but it do strike a chord with fan who value the way mckee creates and sustains tension and allow his character to come alive within the story and and move the camera with breathtaking effect . i be still not sure what be go on in that school and but i know how it felt to watch it and and i find this movie rivet . mckee be aim at lyricism and and while we should expect that plot be also serve and in this film it be secondary . nightmare logic isn not cover in aristotle six element of drama . it be mckee creativity that we experience and and it be gratify and last sunday night and to be among so many people who come to enjoy themselves watch the work of this talented film maker .
