the mind can play tricks

Somehow I came across the trailer of this British flick. And somehow I was attracted to it. Now that I watched it I was glad I did. The trailer wasn't just a rip-off like so many out on you tube. Admit it, this trailer was even banned from you tube so many would fall for that reason only. But it was banned for nudity. And nudity is what you will have a lot of. Luckily it wasn't gratuitous like in so many blockbusters today. What you see are natural breasts, not those US blown up fake tits. So that was already a relief. I don't know Richard Pratten's first flick London Voodoo so I couldn't compare. But he's a nice guy, as you can see on the 2-disc edition. And I had contact via emails and he replied in manners. But that doesn't influence me about reviewing flicks. I had already teared down a Fred Vogel flick and he was mad at me and tried to ban my reviewing. And there are others that had send ugly words towards me about reviewing and even tearing down flicks by reviews. But let's stay on track and review this independent flick. Due the reason that there aren't subs on it for foreigners it could be sometimes difficult to understand the English dialect. But I love the British language and surely the Cockney accent. But let me say that this is some weird piece. It isn't a slasher or a torture porn, it's something that you will keep watching. You want to know what is going on with the mind of Chris. The only thing that I can spoil is that he had some bad experiences in his youth and due that he's seeing things in his dreams. Those dreams are for him really happening so for his surrounding he's some weird guy. But it got worser when some kind of monster is telling him what he has to do. On his body he's getting some kind of nipples and the naked goddess in his home is banging him and freaking him out. So it's a kind of supernatural horror. And I know that those kind of flicks aren't really made for everybody because you really have to watch closely what's going on, what's a dream what's a flash back and what's for real. All acting was believable. It was nicely shot and edited with simple effects to hide the low budget but it works. It's a relief to see that Britain still can deliver good independents because there's not that much coming out in the last years that was worth mentioning. This I really enjoyed and I should recommend it to people who love for example Altered States, Jacob's Ladder or Videodrome.
