a great film this and and a shame that it will receive little attention outside of arthouse circle and student who stay up until two in the morning to watch it on channel four . the plot be a simple one but work very effectively and the blurring between child like fantasy and hard hitting nightmare be very well blur . the budget look pretty low and but to the credit of those involve it doesn not show too often . it also hasn not date that much either . i be lucky enough to tape this off the telly when it be on a few year ago and and it have withstand half a dozen viewing . it one of those film that would not appeal to all while though as usual and those with a more thoughtful approach to cinema would get a lot out of this . charlotte buerke put in a good performance a anna and the spoilt brat and it be a shame she seem to have go from the act scene . cross be also very good and carry the stature of his character very well within the context of the picture . there be some genuinely ( and i do not say that lightly ) disturb moment in this film and both half second shocker and more drawn out tension . watch it with the light out . highly recommended . positive .
