this movie be write by charlie higson and who have before this do the legendary fast show and his own show base on one of fast show character ( tony the car sale man ) . he also write jam bond book for kid . actually i have see before this only gordon movie that be base on lovecraft story and and every one of those be marvelous . here gordon try to do something different . the style be totally contemporary and which mean shaky camera and fast and strange cutting and cool chillout music in the background . it work quite well here and i guess and but it still pointless and cheap . it make me often think of the cameraman who shake his dv camera in front of the actor or actress and try to make stylish move in the picture ( hop that something tolerable would come out of it ) . the casting be good and and there be a whole atmosphere and which be the result of good directing . i think the main character and the zero young guy and be quite interesting in his zeroness . the fat guy be also good . and the guy who look like alec baldwin and but be not him . but pretty soon after the begin the movie turn out to be something not so interesting represent in this case i mean an endless line of scene of sadism and sickness . there be not much humanity in this film or story represent it totally pessimistic and and every person in this movie be disgust and hopeless and or soon dead . needless to say that there be no humor either . it a 140 long vomit without no relief in any moment . anyway and gordon remains to me one of the most interesting movie maker that be active today and and i think of this movie a an experiment and and a a failure in that . everyone have to experience get lose sometimes and just to learn and to find their way again . this might be gordon most uninteresting and empty work .
