Truly abomonable - Piercing review by Alphaville
Sundance-style indie film-making at its worst. Long static close-ups of talking heads will soon have you switching off. It may be cheap, but it’s terminally boring. Godard made Breathless for next to nothing. Have modern indie film-makers learned nothing? It’s promoted as a thriller, but it’s too boring to be thrilling. Towards its end it adds some gruesomeness to make you pay attention, but that only makes it even more loathsome.

Piercingly Original - Piercing review by porky
Didnt really know what to expect and as it started it looked a bit low budget and crappy but it was actually Very Clever and Brilliantly filmed.
Very Darkly Comic and rather disturbing . Twists and Turns ,Where will it go to next .
2 Damaged Souls Trapped in a Struggle with their Inner Demons and Playing them Out with Each Other .
Brilliant Movie, Well Worth Watching more than the once .
i think I may even Purchase a copy .
PS Bad Reviews below are from 'Formulaic Text Book Horror Lovers',that didn't understand the idea of Mental Illness and Inner Demons Taking Over your Life .

Difficult to review - Piercing review by PJB
Difficult to review this film as unusually for modern DVDs there were no subtitles. Judging by the other reviews, it did not look as if I have missed anything but it probably tells you a lot a out the film and distributors that they do not take into account people with physical impediments.
