New Zealand shocker that kept me glued to the screen the entire time right up until its unsurprising and unimpressive ending. And then there's the black blood.
Was that an aesthetic choice? Whatever the reason, it was annoying and distracting.

Incredibly innovative. There still aren't any movies (that I know of) that have been able to use the concept of unobtrusive gore so effectively. A tad draggy in parts but a neat little twist ending.
