Has anyone seen this? It's a 2003 horror film starring Madeline Stowe and Norman Reedus, it's on BBC2 very late tonight and while it seems to have gotten overwhelmingly negative reviews it was written by Stephen Volk, so I'm thinking it might be worth a look anyway. | ||

I think Steve hates it - it was very very very rewritten and is apparently a load of rubbish. The original idea was to do with a family who lived off roadkill and traffic accidents on the M4, which sounds great. If you watch it do report back! | ||

I've seen it. It was very giddy in an MTV way. Decidedly average. | ||

I shall record it just to see - never heard of it... | ||

I've got the Skybox set, so will hopefully get round to seeing it sometime this week. The big criticism seems to be a load of failed attempts at Lynchian weirdness more than anything else. I also see the director is the guy who did Long Time Dead, which I think I gave up on after about half an hour. Not a good sign. | ||

I watched this last night. It was...alright. Not as awful as the reviews made out, but nothing great either. I think the quality of the cast helped me overlook a lot of story problems. | ||

Yeah, that's about right, David. |
