7/10
Worth a watch

Warning: Spoilers
It's an interesting film and the tension level is high throughout. The cast are good and it looks nice and atmospheric. You really do feel her isolation and growing unease. I feel there are a few issues with the film. Firstly, we don't get enough to potentially consider that there is another explanation other than she is being watched. The husband also becomes a bit of a caricature towards the end with his at least she has company line. Talking about endings, that for me was the biggest disappointment. I really don't buy into this American need for a happy ending. I felt we were getting something different which while sad was realistic and more memorable...until we are thrown a final twist to make everything all nice and happy. That isn't life and takes away from the reality as well as making it overall a less enjoyable watch.
