Nice effects though.

Load of rubbish!!

Brilliant and touching

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

When I was in the first minutes of this flick i thought this was becoming a hell of a movie. Sadly after the opening credits it became one dull flick. Just the last 10 minutes were fun to watch again as a horror buff. How is it possible that a flick with such a gory opening sequence could fall into a blah blah flick were things happen off-screen. And teasing us with Udo Kier and Dee Wallace-Stone didn't save the flick either. they are only a few moments in the flick. Christopher Denham was worth mentioning, his role as Alex Borden was believable. But it was really the script that teared this into a sad boring flick. Too much of chess I saw. Even a few things that I won't spoil were predictable. The creatures also looked a bit ridiculous and the hallucinations of seeing creatures or people didn't work either. For the geeks one thing is worth seeing, a full nudity love scene that you can watch as a peeping tom. As gratuitous as it could be 'cause it added nothing to the story. Headspace is about headache, a thing i noticed after watching it.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

A pre-credits scene sees a father shoot a knife-wielding mother in front of their two young sons. We then pick up the life of son Alex in his 20s: simultaneously with the onset of severe headaches, his intelligence increases dramatically, he acquires certain psychic gifts, and he starts having visions.This movie is quite ambitious and, for a lot of its running time, it is successful although it ultimately falls at the last fence. The engine which drives it - the truth about the two boys - is a good one and, if the movie had used that as the payoff, my opinion would have been higher. However, the story then goes further and unnecessarily feeds into a big monster finish (involving unconvincing rubber monster suits) and a frankly ludicrous final "twist" scene.The DVD box sells this as a film starring a number of well known stars. However, they are all in small featured roles: the film is carried by main actor Christopher Denham. He isn't bad, but a large part of what he is asked to do is "Ow! I've got a headache!" and after a while this gets really wearing. The DVD box also promises lots of gratuitous nudity and gore. The nudity, courtesy of Pollyanna McIntosh, is pleasing enough and not entirely gratuitous, but the "lots of" applies only to the gore.

Be ready for a really bold opening scene. Make sure everybody in the room is silent and ready for it. Watch that opening scene, stop it right after when the opening credits roll. THen shut the movie off. Your friends will be mad at you for this, but make up an excuse to your friends. You don't want to be embarrassed that you recommended this movie. It really is that bad! This movie starts with horror and moves into a more lifetime special... only this wasn't really special. The mood from the beginning is ruined. You now have to watch extended scenes of the main character getting "drunk" and the "drunk" acting is horrid! This movie really is a waste of time, if I had to rate just the opening scene I would have given it a 10/10. The rest would have been a 1/10, and so mixed together, I gave it a 3/10. If you want to watch a good b horror film, look at some of my other reviews, there are good ones out there!

I read mixed reviews on this film so didn't know what to expect.It did sound interesting when i read the description so i wanted to see it. What i can say is that the beginning was bad and made no sense.All you see is 2 boys,their father and demented mother who was without explanation acting weird and bleeding all over the place from her nose, making accusations of evil getting in the house and then attempted to kill them before being shot in the head.What the hell drove her insane?And how is a little boy responsible for bringing evil into their house? This was rushed and ridiculous.And then years past and the kid is grown up and thrown right in the middle of another weird storyline which again wasn't explored much or explained again.I guess he was really insane and was the one killing off everyone around him.As for the bull about him being able to see those B-rated looking demons or some supernatural ability to sense their presence and they didn't want other's to see them was lame and make's no sense.And how would he all of a sudden develop skills that no human being could ever possess from getting a headache. The biggest disappointment was that the 2 brother's were not reunited before the older one killed himself.They met by chance later on as adults not recognizing each other after being cruelly separated.It seemed like it was building up but never happened.What a disappointment and waste of continuity. I don't think the script was very well thought out.It had potential to be a way better movie if it was written better with more detail and in a more logical way.And what was with that useless sex scene.It did nothing for the film at all and was a waste of time.It completely changed the direction the film was going,but then the movie has no sense and is badly written.The ending was the worst thing about the movie.I found myself interested enough in it though and it's not by any means the worst film i've seen.It's one of the better b-horror movie's that i've seen. I thought the actors were fantastic and they all seemed to be having a lot of fun making the movie.The old colored guy and the gay Asian made me laugh so it had a bit of humor.Now here comes the part that is unfortunate.I watched the extended and deleted scenes and thought wow! How could this be cut out!I could not believe how much footage was left out.And I couldn't get over how important it seemed to the movie.There was a lot of hard work and very well acted scenes and detail that were deleted.What a shame since it would have only added and enhanced the movie.I preferred the alternate ending.It would have worked nice even if they extended the movie and used both endings. Now if only the DVD had a feature where we could chose the ending and add the deleted material to make it an extended version. I am curious why all of the deleted scenes were cut out since there was no commentary. I may watch the movie one more time before returning it to the video store to see if i see something g i missed the 1st time,but i'm sure it will still make absolutely no sense!
