**I got a free copy of this film when I bought the DVD of Mountains of Madness**
I wasn't asked to leave a review on that basis though.
Mountains was good (for a nothing budget thing) but I was surprised at this film. Visually sumptuous on a pennies budget, but the plot, atmos and the whole feel of this (even down to some tech mistakes) makes it come across like a bad queasy paranoid acid trip to the north coast of England in the middle of winter.
There was no script according to the director (who wrote East Enders and Emmerdale for a bit) but the themes in this are picked up in Mountains too. I enjoyed it, but it is marred by sound issues, at what appear to be vital bits. Ropey CGI has a home made feel to it as well. Still worth seeing.
