While the cover art of the DVD lures you into the illusion that this is a "Scream" style horror flick (the cover is almost identical), the first thing to say about this movie is that it is so quintessential english, it could have been shot on the set of "Eastenders". Don't get me wrong, their are a lot of great movies coming from England, but their attempts of making a good thriller or horror film are often quite deplorable. The quality of the sound is surprisingly good, compared to shabby camera work, which is probably the reason for the tag line "Hear the fear". Miriam Margolyes is usually one of my favorite actresses, but here her OTT approach to her role is not in tune with the rest cast. Imagine Mr. Bean showing up in a "Halloween" movie! After we watch the psychotic killer do some of his very predictable deeds, the movie ends abruptly, not revealing the killer's identity, leaving us in doubt about the fate of his last victim and not giving us any clues about his motives. So why bother watching it all?
