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 .

Enjoyed the novel but... - Piercing review by MN
this film adaptation isn't up to much, unfortunately. Spirited performances from both leads but ultimately unsatifying and too bizarre for its own good. And then... it ends, after 80 minutes. You should definitely watch Audition instead.
