You must find this film!

Thanks to my incredible luck, this film happened to be attending the same film festival I was. Viewing this movie was perhaps one of the best (and worst) times I've had in a theater. The film is, well, disturbing to say the least. If you found yourself a bit panicky at the re-release of The Exorcist this film is going to have you in a cold sweat. No one left that theater unchanged! Finding a copy may be a problem, but hopefully someone will be smart enough to distribute it in the US. By the way, look for it as "The Nameless"
