The movie doesn't really follow the "shock-horror-gore" stereotype. Instead it relies heavily on traditional suspense and speculation. Most of the scenes are thought-provoking, with a good dose of believability thrown in. Instead of falling into the pit of the "horror-flick", the director successfully frightens its viewers through subtlety, superstition (3AM), and simplicity-- one that silently creeps through your nerves and thinking in time.
The extreme lack of visual effects all the more added to the believability of the film. It heavily relied on simple yet very riveting scenes. The involvement of science makes the film even more interesting as it tries to mock its very subject matter: the excorsim, angels, demons, and such.
No profanities, no gore. The best traditional suspence/horror film in years.
