Simply A Masterpiece

Good concept, poorly executed.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a drama/thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat at times. It is the story of an idyllic family whose life we start getting used to at the start when wham, the twisted stalker, Nigel who oozes pure evil appears. The film is very creepy and twisted and the fact that hundreds of people actually do go missing every day brings this creepiness to life. Nigel's delicious dialogue is so beautifully delivered that I get the impression that this film will become a cult classic. The actor who plays Nigel, Jason Savin, gives a superb performance which makes me think of Anthony Hopkins in 'Silence of the Lambs' or even in Mr Hopkins more manic moments in 'Titus'. This is a B-Movie, so don't expect lots of explosions and car chases, just lots of terror. Don't watch it alone at night!

This film is a very well constructed, psychological thriller with a perfectly disturbing villain and real characters who I cared very much about. It has just the right amount of uncertainty and mystery to keep me guessing as to what's going to happen next, and plenty of nail-biting suspense that kept me off kilter, thoroughly enjoying the ride the whole time. I normally don't even watch films this creepy at night because they keep me awake. This one fills the bill for late night creep factor, as it'll keep you sufficiently on edge. I'm a big fan of the thriller and psychological thriller genres, and Flowerman felt right on. If you want a good, creepy, suspenseful story, definitely check it out.

This film is not for the faint of heart. Steel yourself to proceed. In a format of horror, this film explores the inner compulsions which are so self-destructive as to seem to come from some source far beyond the immediate reality.From some kind of psycho Hell comes a psychic psychopath. A loving family is sucked into spiritual Hell with a psychic psychopath with the transcendental powers of a witch to turn love into fear and hate. Evil loves company and draws more evil from the innocent. Psycho and victims are drawn together by inner Hell that seeks some apotheosis from whatever source.

If you have seen the Lovely Bones this may remind you of it. It told the story of a spiritually pure and ideal family and their encounter with disturbing events that seemed to tear them apart. This was an unusual quality. It was simple but also sophisticated. It was certainly disturbing. It achieved this without horror – as in The Lovely Bones. It was because of this quality that the disturbing nature it makes and impression and the creepy quality of it was as good as any I have seen. One thing that it does is keep you guessing. The story is not predictable, far from it. It was well written, well directed and well acted and low budget. Don't let this fool you though. It does not have the cringe factor that can sometimes infect a low budget film. I think it is the sort of film that you will want to watch twice and be prepared to sleep with the light on!
