Search: Starring Johnny Harris

Taken as a straightforward comic horror movie, this feels too derivative and clichéd. Taken as homage or pastiche, it's not nearly funny, knowing or camp enough.

To pull this off requires a strong script and intelligent direction, and, surprisingly, this film mostly succeeds, despite occasional moments of ham-fistedness.

Director Victor Buhler works well with what, on the face of it, is a minor story.

Perhaps not as good as the sum of it’s parts, McGuigan’s second effort is visually impressive, a great comeback for McDowell and a launching pad for Bettany.

This is an excellent film, rewarding audiences with a slowly crystallising sense of dread.

The house has an older past which, at her tender age, [Rebecca] has not reckoned with, and her discovery of this goes hand in hand with her developing awareness of the political climate surrounding her.

This should have been an insider’s guide to laughter. It isn’t.

If the story of a stranger arriving to try and save a beautiful young woman sounds like a familiar fairytale, beware - this is Gilliam's work after all, and nothing is quite as it seems.

Penfold and Hearn keep their camera close, hugging tight to the emotional depth provided by Harris and Wareing.

Verbally, physically and emotionally brutal. You'll come out melted like ice cream.

Very much a film of two halves.

You'll be humming the catchy chorus long after the credits have rolled.
