Deffinely the performance of Bales career. He is soo insane! The way he talks...Robotic, and its true he does have no emotions that connect him to the human society..flat out creepy...I would reccomend watching this but I dont believe its the best ive ever seen.

Fascinating movie. Don't think of it as a horror film, think of it of a vivid and twisted portrayal of a victim psychological state under this culture's pressure.
