RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Ben Larson Yes, this is that film (AKA Nightscare), the one where the luscious Liz Hurley decided it was time to do her bit for tabloid journalists everywhere and bared her breasts. Is is worth it to see her?It is a dark and strange film. Hurley is a scientist experimenting with a new drug to control psychos. She is using it on a grade A psychopath Marc Gilmour (Keith Allen) when Terry Hamilton (Craig Fairbrass), a policeman who death with Gilmour in the past finds out and tries to stop her. Too late. The drug enables Gilmour to make his dreams become real. He never leaves his cell, but is manipulating the world around them, using their guilt and fears to terrorize them. It all sound a little preposterous, and it is confusing to follow. The ending is most unsatisfactory.
kclipper Gorgeous Elizabeth Hurley is a scientist doing experiments on the human brain in abnormal psychology research. She believes that her new serum will reverse the effects of the unstable properties in the minds of sociopaths such as Gilmour (a Hannibal Lecter like serial killer very well acted by Keith Allen). An unsuspecting side-effect results in Gilmour's ability to create dream-like hallucinations in the minds of Hurley and boyfriend, Craig Fairbass as they relentlessly try to track down Gilmour without being driven to suicide first.This is the British film-makers attempt to blend psychological horror with the "serial killer loose in a hospital" sub-genre, and it results in a very confusing and dis-jointed mess. Although, Keith Allen delivers a knock-out performance as a twisted, violent maniac, and the direction along with the overall atmosphere is genuinely scary. Hurley's performance is competent enough (dig those beautiful eyes!), but the violence and tension are beat down by a plot that rarely makes sense due to nonsensical pseudoscience overtones and unexplained suggestions about sexual morality and sin. Nonetheless, It's worth seeing for Keith Allen's acting and its creepily effective mood.
Voridor Story revolves around elizabeth Hurley's characther creating a drug that can cure psychos and make them normal, however instead of curing the psycho it allows him to have the ability to make dreams real.Interesting plot however executed EXTREMELY poorly, Now If I was evil and had the ability to control dreams I would do things more on the Freddy Krueger Level all this guy did was make the two main characters see dead people. And the one time I thought Bedlam had some balls by making A dead criminal begin to Rape Hurleys character, for some reason he saw it fit to call the good guy of the movie and Warn him LOLbasically the entire movie made no sense and for some reason Bedlam can make dead people come alive and control dreams but he couldn't win a fist fight against the good guy in the movie...
ckzboo Basically the only reason i watched this film was for Craig Kelly. As it happens he was only in it for 5 mins, so anyone else thinking of doing the same thing..don't, its not worth it(although he does look cute). Craig Kelly aside i thought this film lacked the power to reach its potential...because it certainly had some, the ideas were there, the plot was actually ok, but sadly they tried too hard to make it surreal and it ended up as one gigantic confusing mess. I was quite confident that Liz Hurley and Keith Allen might be able to save it (from reading the back review u aren't exactly running for the counter) but the acting in this was pretty awful. The lead male was terrible, Keith Allen was good enough, but he wasn't saying much, so that leaves Craig Kelly...who..despite all my biased..i must truthfully admit was pretty good for the small role he had. So contrary to all i said at the beginning if the only reason you are watching this is for Craig Kelly then i must say thats a pretty good reason, at least u know there's one bit u will enjoy, because quite frankly the rest of it is a pile or c**p and not worth the bother. If anyone wants to rewrite it though then i'd probably watch it again cos like i said its definitely got potential :)
