Decent thriller. Original setting and plot. Good direction by Phillip Noyce: good build-up and tension is maintained well. Could easily have degenerated into usual psychological-drama/slasher-horror stuff but there are enough sub-plots and ebbs and flows to keep it interesting.
On the down side, some parts of the plot feel contrived and implausible.
Good work from Sam Neill and Nicole Kidman in the lead roles, and even Billy Zane is okay in his role.
Interesting to note that this was Kidman's last movie before hitting the Hollywood big time (and meeting Tom Cruise...). Her next movie was Days of Thunder...
