Disturbing and Sad

What a wholly unpleasant movie. i can't fault the skill of it, because the performances are solid and the way director Peter Jackson blends fantasy with reality as an examination of the girls' psychoses is interesting. However, none of the characters are likable and you really feel no sympathy for anyone in the film, which, to me, made it hard to care about the conclusion. I was just...disturbed. But, then again, it's a sad and unpleasant story, so maybe that was the intended effect, in which case, the movie is successful.
