EVIL - 9/10 (A-)
Great film! The acting, cinematography, directing, etc... are all great. I highly recommend it. It's too bad it couldn't have won for "Best Foreign Film" at the 2005 Oscars, but at least it was nominated.

Re: Ondskan [Evil]
Really enjoyed this film, while it was a Swedish film it did have an American vibe to it. Did a good job to nail it's theme home and how/why people do the things they do.
