Its trailer was in theaters in Summer 1999. However, due to a flood of "end of the world" movies coming out at the same time (End of Days (1999), Stigmata (1999), et cetera), the decision was made to delay the release. Its new date was February 4, 2000. However, that date was cancelled, after the popular "Scream" franchise staked out that date for Scream 3 (2000). The final release date of October 13, 2000, was finally decided upon, which also happened to be the same day as the re-release of The Exorcist (1973) Expand

Talk about under the radar, I don't even remember this being marketed during its release and I love these kinds of movies.

I understand most peoples' criticism of the "flatness" of the script and underdeveloped characters, and that the only real strength is the sumptuous cinematography and general atmosphere.

But see, those last two things can be enough to reel me in sufficiently to forgive (or not even notice) those perceived shortcomings. I simply adore movies shot on film in the wide aspect ratio that are almost monochrome and take place in a gritty urban locale. It's that level of polish where the visuals and the score just put me right in my happy place. I also thought it was a great cast and the acting was solid all around.

There may not have been enough twists and turns for most folks, and the ending did seem a bit curt, but overall I am a huge fan and think it's a pity that Janusz Kamiński didn't direct more after this.

Super bummed to see this hasn't received a Blu-Ray release anywhere in the world, but at least the available HD streaming transfer is super nice. While the audio is only Dolby 2.0 stereo, my receiver made it sound damn fine with its simulated 5.1 effect.

The script is awful and full of cliches. Just a boring movie with zero suspense and a plot seen 1000000 times... Avoid!

This movie is awful. And the reviewer who mentions narcissistic pd. What does any of that have to do with how bad this film was?

Predictable, trite, inane. The list goes on and on. Cliche after cliche.

Beyond the dark atmosphere, it seems that everyone involved forgot to do something with quality.
