It dodges around what would have been a potentially more interesting choice for the script, and it has a final sequence that feels more than a tad unrealistic.

Gorman is a creepy and odd-looking guy, but he also has a degree of meekness and a pathetic quality that makes him pitiable. The film also cast well for the alleged watcher.

That the film is in Romania and everyone speaks Romanian, with no subtitles, lets the audience feel her sense of isolation. We are placed into the perspective of our lead character in a major way and feel her growing sense of fear and isolation, even in public areas. From having the lead character go see the Hitchcockian Stanley Donen-directed Charade to shots mirroring the claustrophobia of Rosemary’s Baby and the Eastern European influences akin to Repulsion, Okuno has used what she’s learned to great effect. Okuno pays lots of homage to her influences throughout the film.
