We just started watching it today, and already I find that I'm completely fascinated -- if a bit creeped out -- by it. The quick-cutting camera, strange lighting and camera angles, and just the fact that you have no idea what's going on all create a very unnerving, disorienting effect. I think the best way to describe my reaction at the moment is that my mind has been blown.
Also, I noticed something in the list of victims... Whether it actually means something or I'm just analyzing too obsessively (I honestly don't think the latter is very likely) I suppose we'll find later. Anyway, the first letter in the first name of each victim spelled out "MASKSB." "Masks" might add to the idea of things being hidden or concealed, while I'm not sure what the "B" means (yet).
Overall, even just from the ten or so minutes we saw, this movie is very, very interesting.
It is a perennial favorite. The director's cut is quite different, though. I never watched it all before. perhaps I'll show the start of the original.
