Clement van den Bergh acts well in a very difficult role. I believe this film was based on a book which I certainly do not want to read. The cinematic value is good, but the content is in my opinion debatable. It shows urban myths, especially the abduction of youths and children so as to extract some of their inner organs. Perhaps it has happened, but not on the scale depicted here in both fantasy and supposed actuality. A boy reaching puberty is sent by his protective/sadistic father with hints of incest to a class trip in a remote mountain place for children and young adults. Here his nightmares are graphically depicted to such an extreme extent of horror that I almost stopped watching. Such horrors as the mass shooting of the inmates, imminent burial alive and a mental re-enactment of ' The Monkey's Paw ' a horror story in this film showing body parts that speak and move. Personally, I find the film pretentious and sensational, and any empathy for the youth swamped by the dread around him and what is in his mind. For any sensitive viewer avoid.
