9/10
A very good German film

I was searching the channels last night and ended up watching this. Not realizing what it was, I decided to sit and see what it was like. I was very pleased with the movie and thought it had a good storyline.

This story centers around a young woman, Jeanette, who when around the age of eight to eleven, witnesses the brutal murder of her parents by a man wearing a floral print dress and a black wig. Being in an mental house since that night, her doctor convinces her she is cured and sends her up into the German mountains where she is to tutor three teenagers (Leon, Melissa, Lissy) in French. Still haunted by the murder of her parents, Jeanette starts to believe that the murdered is after her, when strange things start to happen... I won't ruin the ending or anything else.

This entertaining, thriller leaves you guessing what will happen till the end. It did for me and I actually thought that out of all the things that happened in the movie, it wouldn't have turned out the way it did. One thing, if you get scared easily do not watch this in the dark! I did. It's not so much the murder scenes, but more or less the fact that the suspense and music got to me. Get sceneries, effects, plot, cast and direction. All round 9/10.
