I saw the screening in Cannes. Still don't know if I understood all of it but it gave me a real chill... That's quite an achievement those days, it doesn't happened very often! I usually smile or laugh at those movies... The only weakness is the leading lady. All the other cast seemed to be enjoying the crazy ride but she looked like she just wanted off!! But the movie is so watchable and the rest of the cast is so gorgeous you won't even care!I especially like this french actor Mathieu Bougenah,Hugh Bonneville is sexier than I have ever seen him and I think we will see a lot more of Lorcan O'Toole very soon.. Overall, it's a big thumbs up!
I just saw this at the Cannes film festival, and was delighted to see Anthony Hickox back on form. "Sunrise" (especially) and the two "Waxworks" are two of my favourites in the genre and I hooked up with Anthony in Los Angeles a few years ago and thought he was a pretty "coo dude".
He has a great sense of humour and it shows in person and definitely in his films to date.
This is a pretty creepy confection, with tight performances and some compelling performances, especially by Plowright and Morrissey.
Highly recommend.
For fans of off the wall humour and horror films like "Fright Night" and to a lesser extent "Scream".

Yee gads, this is a good one. This is a true gem, a hokey haunted house movie in the lines of House On Haunted Hill that will scare the living daylights out of you. In the tradition of The Changeling (the one with George C. Scott not the one about the missing kid) and The Sentinel (the scary one not the one about government agents), this is an excellent fright fest that isn't camp and doesn't play it for laughs. The only scary horror movies are the ones that are serious, and this one is, with a lot of twists. If you liked The Shining or Amityville Horror, you will love this movie. This is what horror movies were like before Jason and Freddy and Saw, when frights came in the form of The Omen or Beyond The Door and the characters actually had mysterious motives. This movie has the patience to allow the atmosphere to startle you rather than resorting to cheep gore. I don't think I've seen a horror movie this engaging since What Ever Happened To Baby Jane; cross that with Stir of Echoes and you have Knife Edge. In Race With The Devil they had to go to a library that somehow had the exact book on satanic rituals that they were looking for, but in this modern movie they have Google, which is about the only thing that distinguishes this fine thriller from those great flicks that were made in the 70s and 80s, and even some of the movies made in the 60s such as Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. The ending is a mixture of Sixth Sense and Psycho. Knife Edge is a modern masterpiece. It is creepy in a Rosemary's Baby type of way.
Wow! Hammer horror is back!
I don't know if it was the intention of the film makers,but this movie could have been made in the late 60's/70's and after all the crap that they churn out as horror now days,what a relief.
First of all it has a story...Which in itself is a horror! (because aren't all us horror fans, just morons that don't want story,good acting and any character driven suspense!)
And talking of acting...Its pretty darn good in this film!Not sure about the lead (that's why i couldn't give it a ten),but all the others are spot on,and i challenge you to figure out the secrets they all hold.
Then there's the gore...which there isn't any!Well not until the last ten minutes,but when it comes,boy does it come!And it comes it's Argento's lipstick red exploding on the screen!Maybe its because there has been none before or this is the first horror movie since 'Rosemarys baby' that tells its story with the lights on but i found it really shocking.
So if you want a horror that doesn't treat you like an idiot,or thinks you'll only like it if its shot like a commercial...Go see this one,you won't be disappointed!

I cant recognise the work of a competent editor, nor can I see an editor credited. Just who edited this mash up?
The storyline is all over the place, The characters just aren't believable - one just doesn't care what happens. Back to the story, it has a "readers age" of sub 13, indeed intelligent 10, 11 and 12 year olds would find it vacuous.
Yet they save the worst aspect till last - it has absolutely no cinematic justification.
This film trashes whatever vestiges of a reputation Anthony Hickox may have had.
He should stick to vacuous action movies.
