Did any one else see it over the weekend?
Really well done thriller, with two great frights and a stunning ending.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

A rarity, a psychological thriller that didn't descend into all of the cliched third act traps yet still delivers surprise after surprise, all of which are set up and make sense. It's a bloodless story with suspense and a genuinely startling turn -- and a helluva payoff for that turn in the final few minutes. Very smart, very well acted. Kudos especially to Bateman, at the top of his game. But they're all good.

Saw this today and was completely blown away. People like to compare any thriller to Hitchcock, but this is the closest I've seen a film as being worthy of that comparison in a very very long time. The last few scenes are jaw-dropping and the perfect ending to a film that takes you in directions you'd never see coming.
Man, this is one hell of a smart film.

I saw this about a week ago and was enthralled. Like everyone has said, it did not fall into the cliches and you really could never guess what was going to happen. Joel Edgerton really directed one mind-f*** of a movie with a good amount of suspense and scares and a great ending. His acting was also great and Bateman did a great job as well. I even enjoyed Rebecca Hall a bit. Go see this if you haven't already!!!!!
