I was looking forward to this movie for a long time. It was a big letdown for me. The plot was interesting, and the acting was good as well, it just didn't go anywhere. I guess I would equate this one to the feeling of having sex and not being able to reach orgasm (it's good, but didn't have the ummpff needed at the end).
I'd say it's worth a rent, but not a purchase. As for the extras, I don't recall. I was at that point too let down to see if there was any. I would have enjoyed this one a little more if I hadn't expected it to be great.

GREAT: 2.35:1 spotless anamorphic transfer & 5.1 french audio. BAD: The only special feature is a trailer.
If you like Hitchcock you should like it. It should make my top ten of the year.
Here's four reviews of the DVD.
cheers, MCB

Note: NO subtitles - in any language, including French - but otherwise a handsomely designed two-disc (DVD-9 + DVD-5) DigiPak in a cardboard slipcase...
...interesting movie...

A letdown
I saw it in the theater but not on DVD. The movie was a big letdown for me, because it was built up as this huge Hitchcock-like thriller, but it was just predictable and boring.

I'd just barely heard of this one before I saw it, and perhaps because I didn't know what to expect, I really enjoyed this. If you're looking for your typical overblown, telegraphed and fake-suspenseful American suspense movie, don't bother, but this is a somewhat leisurely paced, but genuinely frightening, stalker story. "Harry" is one of the more chilling movie creations I've seen in a while, and the rest of the cast is really good as well. I like the slow, insidious way things build up here, and the ending is pretty fitting. It's well worth a rental at least. Didn't notice any special features of note, though.
