Debutregissören Gerald McMorrow har fått ut väldigt mycket snygg film för de 12 miljoner dollar han hade till sitt förfogande.

An admirably non-formulaic drama, which manages to reconcile the opposed British film traditions of contemporary, realistic, low-key character drama with eccentric, flamboyant, Gothic fantasy.

...some visual effects are flashy and the production design is gleaming and intricate...

...excellent performances and FX eye candy pull you through to the climax.

You have to laud McMorrow for a brazen Brit debut that isn’t either A) a horror or B) takes place in a gang.
