this movie sucks. i mean really awful. it's so bad a little part of you dies when you watch it.the director is ambitious and handled his low budget fairly well, but overall it made me vomit (not just because of the force-feeding scene either.) this 2 hour or so long festival of festering turd is the worst contribution to the arts i have ever seen. Benito Mussolini's had a better taste in art than any self-loathing dunderhead moronic enough to subject themselves to this. the world would be a better place if every copy of this film was destroyed.you would be much better off at home in your old-master themed study, in your Dickensian dressing-gown, smoking a pipe and burying yourself into some Shakespeare. Goodnight, and God Bless

I did not expect this when I put the DVD in to watch. I am not sure what I expected but I am really glad I rented it out, I felt like I had found a gem amongst all the Hollywood garbage you normally find in your local video store.Good editing, great soundtrack and the view of the lead through her eyes.The forced feeding scene is genuinely disturbing and i could not stop thinking about it for days afterwards, the way it was extended when you thought it was all over kept me awake that night! That to me, is good direction and acting, when you really feel for the character.The way the director captured the sense of overwhelming control that Alex's obsessive-compulsive behaviour has over her seems very realistic also, like you are hearing her thought as well as seeing her actions.I don't think too many people have seen this film because everyone I ask has never heard of it. From memory it was one of those films that the video store only had 1 or 2 copies of so that probably puts the masses off straight away.I had to go and order it on DVD after I rented it out.. definitely not a film for everyones tastes though, although my girlfriend enjoyed it also.Not the best film I have ever seen by far (some of plot and acting pretty poop )but worth watching and I didn't feel like I had wasted 90 minutes at the end. I must admit that I was slightly disappointed at the end of the film with the way it ended but that's life.The lighting in this movie is not going to be to everyones tastes, a fair bit of strobe effects to go with that great soundtrack, could mess a few heads up.I think the director will be one to watch in the future, apparently this was his first proper feature film which on reflection makes sense but if I met him he would get a handshake and a "well done".

A run of the mill slasher/Halloween type flick that goes through the motions with a few exceptions. The audio/ visuals in this movie are at times stunning and worth a view if only for this. This, along with 'strange' editing leaves you waiting for the next 'strange' event. For you oldies out there try to spot ex-YES keyboard player Rick Wakeman in the movie. WARNING:- This movie contains strobe lighting of around 10 cycles/sec. It does warn of this on the video case but the writing is very small so beware. I gave it a 6/10 for its innovations.

Though this movie appears to be a good watch at first sight, I warn you that eventually you'll be disappointed. Camera is decent, image nice in places, speed is ok, dialogue is rather bad but the main thing is the story sucks. Sorry guys, better luck next time (hopefully).
