Perhaps you know the feeling; scouting your local videostore for a nice unknown and trying to avoid the usual fodder that has been put out by the likes of UFO or nu image to name just a few.
So I grabbed this movie, after putting back 2 others that were indeed produced by the above companies... nowadays a horror fan is always on the brink of starving, not enough films to satisfy the taste.
And it was a pleasant surprise..well most of it. The story involves a man that can see in the future, a school teacher and a policeman that are all linked together. And for most of the running time the suspense and the urge to know where the plot is taking you works very well. Extremely nice camera-work and images, combined with subtle effects build up the expectations and the tension. And this is ultimately where the film fails.
Because in the end there is nothing to show for, no climax, no conclusion , just a dud and that is a real shame cause the film looks very promising.
But in the light of what can be found in your local videostore I can recommend it. It is subtle, very nicely filmed and keeps the attention on an intelligent level for most of the film and that is something you will not get with most of the latest outings in the genre. Just don't expect a good finale.
