I was intrigued by the first part of this movie, where an interesting idea is given shape, a painter that is obviously psychically gifted which shows in his work, and in the obvious premonition flashes he gets. The characters, however, stay flat, aren't given much depth, and the attempts at establishing clear relationships between the characters in the movie fails because of it. With the introduction of suspense through the "mysterious neighbour" the plot starts to turn towards a rather negative and unfortunately also quite predictable direction. There is some mystery but it gets debunked soon, which leaves us just with the painter who is obviously losing it, and who is also obviously a complete spaz that shouldn't be left near sharp objects because he'd get someone hurt.The worst nosedive happens when he ends up with a firearm in his possession and kills his friend by accident. All logic goes out the window, and the movie turns into a series of really bad clichés where all the worst and most stupid responses from characters are shown that have been thought up in Hollywood. The killing was an accident, but even the rational wife who offers a perfectly viable course of action gets ignored, and then swayed to the absurd. At this point in time I looked at how far I was in the movie, and decided to sit out the last part of it. It didn't get any better, only worse.Please don't waste your time on this movie. It starts interesting, but turns into the worst kind of drama you can imagine.

I am glad that I didn't pay to see this movie. This movie seems to be made by the bunch of film student straight out of school. Story is incoherent and totally meaningless. Actors are not beliavable and especially artist(Salvator Xuereb) is just delivering a stereotypical performance. Whole movie was basically just depiction of some painting, paranoia, partying and crying over a dead body. Music was totally of the mood. There was like action music on suspenseful moments. I was left with an impression that composer probably didn't see the movie when he was making music.Definitely the highlight of the movie was when charming young Allyssa(Nicole Rayburn) was posing naked - such beauty! And art works in the movie weren't that bad. This movie could serve well as a example how to not make a movie.

I thought that the hideous red face on the main character's canvas looked familiar so I looked it up and, yes, it's almost line for line the famous sketch "Head studies" by Leonardo da Vinci at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. Of course, it could be just a coincidence, but I think it's a subliminal message, something like, "Go to the museum, go to the museum, don't waste your money, don't waste your money..." Anyway, it starts out interesting, with good acting on the part of a group of interesting practically unknowns. Then it ever so slowly gets spookier and cornier in a grossly subtle and confusing fashion. They use lots of contrived false leads to nowhere in particular until the end, when it slaps you in the face and blatantly says to you, "You should have gone to the museum, you wasted your money..." I just wish I could spoil the ending for you, but for the most part, it was so boring that it's a blur.

I didn't really like this movie that much except until the end. The fact I didn't like it was because I dread horror movies. However, I think it was also the characters that failed to convince me. It was a typical low budget movie. When you hear the characters cry, it seems quite raw and hard to swallow, so I guess, that part was interesting. I feel that this movie could have been better in a number of ways. It could have had more budget firstly and the length of the movie could have been shorter. It leaves you with an empty feeling at the end because the masked character isn't revealed. It is actually relieving at the end to have the troubled character dead as it assures you that no more people will be hurt. Anyway, it is watchable but don't expect to be too impressed as the other reviews seem to imply.
