When you get a decent actor telling a story, it's always riveting.
They always say show don't tell, but telling can also work in the right circumstances, and it does so here.
I was really impressed with the opening myself. I never would have thought to have the girls telling scary stories while painting their nails. It really set the mood and changed the later dialogue for the better.
I speak Serbian. The acting wasn't bad. IMO the dialogue could have been better adapted to Serbian but it was okay.
I didn't like many of the shots used. Especially those in the beginning when the sitter was telling the story in the living room. That could have been shot a lot better. But it was fine. Story worked. Good effort.
Liked the short. Very chilling. I liked the actresses. That tale the teen was a urban legend right?

Demento - Other than the establishing shot of the house, those opening shots definitely aren't memorable, but for a no budget film, I think they did a pretty good job overall. I personally liked the nail polish dripping onto the magazine juxtaposed against the telling of the story.
My. Ripley - Yes, the story the babysitter was telling is an old urban legend included by the director.
I meant to comment on this earlier and forgot. Just like before when I found myself in the kitchen. I've still no idea what I went in there for. Maybe it'll come to me.
Moving on. Back to the film. Bloody fine effort on the whole. I think the foreign language element helped step up the tension.
The two actresses were pretty good too. I liked the idea of the end. But thought there was something slightly amiss with either the editiing or a few of the shot choices. Hey, I'm no Scorcese, so whadda I know? Just what I thought at the time.
