This film clearly wants to be more than meets the eye. The outline is promising: A young girl fascinated by images of death (picture of dead people and animals, that is, or their killing), making photos of that subject, is slowly learning (and so is the viewer) that this affinity is motivated from some dark secrets of her past. This leads to a more psychological drama involving a risky sort-of suicide attempt (probably the films best scene) until the lead and her best friend find a way out. Though there's tension between the girls, don't expect or fear any "action" between them, since they're twin sisters in real life. But don't except the film to end here, either. Added is a finale to return to the "abnormalness" of the beginning. But ultimately, the picture fails. Whereare the directors recent film 'The Eye II' managed to weight the horror against a more consonant ending, he attempts the opposite here - only to deliver a foreseeable finale. Probably something for fans of the genre, but no real gem. The material is good, but the use made of the potential is unsatisfying. Still worth a look, if not the least for the stunning visuals and Payont Permsits great score.
