May this evening, the first time I have seen it in five years (almost to the day, in fact). I was surprised at how much I had forgotten, especially at just how violent the film is, with some of it catching me completely off guard. It is a wonderful film and, like you, I don't think Lucky McKee has made a better film.
Last night, I watched
Ouija which, being a Platinum Dunes production, has all the subtlety of a brick. If it was in different hands, say produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by one of his Spanish friends like Guillem Morales or Juan Antonio Bayona, would have probably relied much more on a growing sense of dread and tension than the cheap jump scares which released the suspense rather than allowing it to permeate and leave you unnerved for a long time afterwards.
It isn't a bad film, just a good story which could have come in different hands, could have been much, much better.
