Zoe (Lucy Evans) visits her instructor Malcolm (David Horton) who she had a one night stand with in hopes of turning it into something more. She takes along her BFF Sarah (Kelly Adams) who has her back. Hot Asian chick Kendra (Calita Rainford) answers the door but she was/is with Declan (Jonathan Rhodes) a genius in a wheelchair. They are professional hackers who believe they can predict all events of the future if they have access to the original Old Testament with the original words and tablets. So they hack into the Vatican computer to obtain this information which triggers a strange series of events...not Buckaroo Banzai strange because this is only 7 dimensions with a smaller budget.The action takes place in one flat and mostly one room. The special effects and story line was hampered by the budget. The actors did a heck of a job to maintain my interest. I managed to catch a few and comprehend a little of the scientific jargon, and the rest, like bible codes, I play the skeptic. The production touches on fate and the paradox of prophecy.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I clearly wasn't thinking straight when I bought this DVD entitled Decoder, assuming it was the German film directed by Muscha. Why did the Japanese feel the need to change the title? Paid for it, might as well watch it, I thought, and then found I couldn't switch off the Japanese subtitles. The non-stop chatter and the histrionics gave me the impression that the script was written by a teenager and the only reason I ended up watching the whole silly film was because the cat went to sleep on my knee and I didn't want to disturb her. Unconvincing story and unconvincing performances. I'm not saying the acting is particularly bad, but it's English soap opera / sit-com level. The credits state 'This motion picture is a work of fiction'. No kidding. I've ordered a copy of Decoder. The right one this time.

well first i was trying to focus on the dialogues what the characters were saying but i think the actors were given a lot of dialogues which they had to complete in a short time . so they were talking so speedy. and the movie was technologically so advance and complicated that most of the things which they were discussing was out of a normal man's reach. so much stuff regarding hacking and technology, a few characters were introduced like they were going to play a turning role in the movie, like the ghost, but they were the guest characters so disappointment was the fate of this hope. i think this movie was waste of time. it was so boring. i would recommend the people who want to enjoy their weekend or precious time, please find something else to watch rather than this. and those who have watched. my sympathies are with you :)

Quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen. An hour and a half of my life I won't see again. Having paid to watch this dross on Sky Box Office I was not happy at all. The synopsis sounded amazing - British Spooky Chiller, erm were was all the spooky chills. All this was was a cheap, nasty little gore fest with petulant teenage type females arguing and seeing how many times they could use the F word. It became wearing after a while and shows just how lazy the writers are. You don't need to litter a movie with F*** every five seconds and you need to have a believable story. All that going on in a penthouse in a seedy run down block of flats in London and no-one notices - come on! I wondered what the people in the flat below them were thinking as noise travels in flats so all that idiot nonsense would have been heard, the police would have been called especially with all the screaming Zoe was doing - there was a character that you wanted to slap to shut up her incessant complaining, ranting, screaming and shouting. Not one of the characters made you want to invest in them, their story or their fate, it was a cheap, crappy, lazy tripefest of a movie and if this is what The British Film Council is actively encouraging then its no wonder it's being disbanded.Kelly Adams of Hustle fame needs to choose her roles more carefully in future; this crap will do nothing to further her career if she leaves that show.What a complete and utter waste of time and money, I absolutely detest rubbish like this, advertised as one thing and is totally the opposite. Lazy and ineffectual writers should be told to go back to school and learn their trade PROPERLY, not have money thrown at them to go away and make rubbish. The more that happens the more rubbish movies like this we can expect to see.All in all this was F****** Sh*t, just like they kept saying all the way through the movie. Appalling, abysmal waste of time and money.
