I watched it over two years ago and I still remember it extremely well. It was a great, but perhaps one shouldn't watch it if you have weak stomach. Some of the scenes are outright scary, though they could very well be taken out of reality. Personally, I found the the old lady charachter disgusting after a while, even though it wasn't really her fault.

A very strong film that I'd recommend to anyone who wants to see a film that's more than just entertainment.
