sadly and this be not the best british gore film since hellraiser and though the dvd cover claim this and which be what trick me into buy it . it be and however and an homage to many of the great horror of old and film from most notably the amicus stable . cradle . be shoot on mini dv and which though we all know have more of a tv feel than a movie and can be do so much good . every scene and set and shot look like it have be light in exactly the same way ( standard key and fill and rear setup ) and which only enhance the cheap look of the finish piece . the gore content be and quite frankly and laughable . from the opening shot where we see a man obviously foam rubber head torn apart and through to tacky cheap prop hammer and the creature effect and the terrible cg and there be nothing in there that impress me at all . the acting be abominable and from the near comatose detective to the brummie dwarf and via dani filth and the least convincing horror movie bad guy i have ever witness . each of the substories be more formulaic than the last and and the set get bad and bad a the movie run . look out for the mental asylum a georgian semi detach house with a bad cg sign outside and and the most bizarre ( and not in a good way ) pad cell i have see . it take me four attempt to get to the end of the film without my attention wandering ( nay and run ) away at any available opportunity . i actually find myself dust at one point while the film be run . it do and however and mark one of the last known appearance of emily booth breast and which i guess be one ( um and two ) thing it have go for it . once that out of the way though and it be all downhill . i have hear people say good thing about alex chandon and and i would love to believe them and but on this evidence i be not likely to . if you want a decent homage to amicus and avoid this and go for the league of gentleman christmas special instead . currently battle it out with blair witch 2 represent book of shadow for the title of bad film i have ever see .
