I found the movie very interesting. Sure, it has obvious faults in content, but the story and characters flowed well together. I don't know why, but the cinematography gave me an eerie feeling.

Can you expand on this at all?

The movie was suppose to be eerie at parts though. Given the subject matter. You're suppose to feel uncomfortable. Thats just another part of the movies brilliance. The cinematography is excellent.

Actually, I just watched this movie again last night after our fireworks display ended.
