The horror, the horror: this Brit chiller is a strong contender for worst film of the year.

Quite the worst supernatural thriller ever made starring Jeff Fahey. This is saying something.

It's lit and shot disastrously and, most problematically, it's completely devoid of scares.

If it's spine-chilling horror you're after, move along, but if you're looking for unintentional laughs then this'll take some beating.

It's easy to see why this piffle had to be independently financed - no film company executive in its right mind would have touched it with a barge pole.

An absolutely horrible British film about a police detective that gets messages from the victims of a serial killer.... messages from beyond the grave!I dunno - this movie is like... worse than a Lifetime movie (and apparently Lifetime movies have a bigger budget too). Not only are people miscast, I didn't care about
