firefly-31998 An absolute gem of a movie. The cast were brilliant. The shocks were enough to make me go YUK. Six was so scary. He just needed to look at someone and you knew they were next. The ending was not what I expected and I loved it. If you love horror with a twist then you have to watch this movie.

Mazinger31 This title passed by my Netflix queue many times before a friend's recommendation sold me on it. The name is somewhat cheesy, but this movie is a solid little gem. 95% of the movie takes place in a desolate police station during the worst night shift of all time. Liam Cunningham is eerily compelling as the mysterious wanderer who throws a quiet night into a hellish nightmare by peering into the souls of those around him and witnessing their darkest secrets. The small cast allows the viewer to gain insight into each character and what they have done to draw Six to this place. Most of the film leaves you wondering what role the lead actress plays until it is finally revealed with an ending I will not ruin. If you like movies about the devil walking among mortals, this horror flick will give you exactly what you are looking for.

David Roggenkamp Truthfully speaking, this movie starts out slow – it takes its time acquainting us with the characters and getting to know their roles throughout the film. The name of the game is divine retribution as strange things start to happen and people pay the dues of their fate. The characters in this film are quite evil and play the part of normal person without err. The film is quite bitter in this respect and the characters have absolutely no regard for the rules, following orders or otherwise treating the other characters with formalities or respect.The film starts out slow, forty minutes in and it still wishes to acquaint us with the characters. I had to start skipping ahead to finally get to where the film delivers. It does get wrapped up nicely, but I otherwise wasn't impressed until the very ending. The film could have had a faster pace with more action; but it gets the point across. It is a good watch along with other films, but I would not recommend it by itself.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=9131).

Spikeopath An apparent victim of a hit and run, a mysterious stranger is held at a remote police station and starts to take over the emotional state of staff and inmates alike.It's not a new premise, something which is being held against Brian O'Malley's film like it's a crime, but the execution, the technical guile, and atmospheric touches brought to the piece, mark this out as a horror film of some merit. Boosted by having the great Liam Cunningham in the lead role, it's a film that shocks and awes with each passing chapter. It revels in the bloody aspects that unfold, positioning the vile nature that some human's are prone to right at the forefront, and with bloody impact. Piers McGrail's cinematography is superb, the bold and beautiful shine of the blues and golden browns mingle disconcertingly with the down and dirty feel of the police cells, the latter of which appropriately marry up with the characters on show. Steve Lynch's score is a treat, a real nerve bothering piece of work, gnawing away at the senses in the same way that Cunningham's character tugs away at the emotional conditions of his prey. It's a film of many pleasures for the so inclined, it does get away from itself a little at the end, asking a little too much of the viewer, but it doesn't kill the pic and this is very much a horror necklace worth wearing on a night out. 7/10
