I am really surprised that a British made film could be so bad..the storyline although not the most original isn't too bad. However, the acting is terrible!
They seem to have thrown in any old thing they thought would be disturbing to an audience, cannibalism, psychotisism, hints on incest etc but not developed the plot properly leaving the story to be just a mess of horror film clichés.
Diana Vickers should definitely stick to singing as she plays a very unconvincing part in this film and I found myself actually rolling my eyes half the time she spoke. The expression on her face throughout the film is what I can only describe as pathetic, like a school girl that's been given a part in the school production for the first time not someone who has just found out her father is a murderer and cannibal. Her only purpose in this film is to look pretty and that alone.
As for the rest of the actors (all 4 of them), Tony Curran at times almost made me believe his character and I can tell that he is not an awful actor even in this abomination of a film. Rupert Hill offers a very Coronation street performance..no more to be said here and as far as Peter Woodward is concerned, a very theatrical performance is given, particularly during his death scene I may have actually laughed out loud.
The best actor may have been Adrian Bouchet in this!!! Overall I'm thoroughly disappointed that these actors (except Vickers) actually allowed this film to be released..seems like an amateur school project to me.
