Blue, with her psychotherapist boyfriend in tow, visits her estranged sister and her fiance. Right from the start, it is made obvious that Blue is dangerous, emotionally unbalanced and that she will strike out. The only question is when and where. The two couples decide to camp out in the old, deserted family house where a neighbour tells them that the place is haunted by evil spirits. This warning proves prophetic.

This film reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock. It deserves to do well

A Hindu woman, on a bus travelling between cities in India, struggles to quieten her restless, noisy baby. A Moslem man solves the problem and she in turn comes to his rescue when the bus is hijjacked by political terrorists out to kill Moslems. They spend the next few days together. Just when you think they might become romantically involved, the woman's husband shows at an emotional scene at the Calcutta railway station. Lots of scenic footage.

This film is getting a lot of press in Vancouver. This is not only because it is locally made, but also because it is very well executed. I was tempted to dismiss it as just another Canadian slice-of-life film. It is that, but it is a superb example of the genre. The characters grew on me and a lot is communicated from the looks on their faces. This film is worth seeing, even if you're not Canadian.
