Title: Never Been Scared of a Horror Film EVER BEFORE
Review: I have been watching horror films since I was a child. Yawned through "The Exorcist" (read the book first), laughed out loud at "Blair Witch Project" (I lived in the woods when I was a kid), etc. "Absentia" was the FIRST film to really scare me to the point of nightmares. I still have trouble walking alone at night, esp. around a creepy natural tunnel in my home town. I thought the entire production was minimalist but definitely on target for chills, without any of the usual "trappings" put into modern horror films. "Daniel" was especially creepy, and I had to watch it several times to understand the meaning of his several presences in the film. Even the basic soundtrack was creepy and never overplayed the scenes.You may want to brush up on your "3 Billy Goats Gruff" to truly understand the plotline.
