Edgar Wright made the cult-classic, "Shaun of the Dead"... but has never quite lived up to the success of that movie. All of his subsequent efforts have been mixed bags to say the least. The same is true of this film... a psychological horror with good performances, striking visuals and dazzling camerawork. However, it is more of an interesting, ambitious failure. It doesn't hold up to detailed scrutiny. It muddles tone. It feels more like an ode to a time and a place than an actual logical narrative. It is a near miss.
