How long's left? Is it worth me switching on?

It is a fantastic film.

Always meant to watch the Norwegian original, as it is apparently much darker.

Ditto, always see it in the rental shop but always overlook it for something else, usually pretty shit a la fantastic four

Ahhh there's only half an hour left.I think i'd heard it was good but i've been watching Ring Of Bright Water til just 20 mins or so ago.It came as a free DVD with some newspaper the other week.Not how i remembered it as a kid.I remembered it as when Midge get's killed that's the end.But it wasn't quite.Still at least i didn't cry this time like i did when i was 5 :cry: :laugh:

Insomnia is a great film, really psychological. :shades:

The original version is better (but they usually are). Criterion has a good DVD of it.

Yeah i guess i remembered it as the end for the same reason.Once the Otter died i must have been in a state of shock for the remainder of the film and hence it stuck in my mind as the end of the film.
