  • Reminds me of the show on the BBC Vexed with Toby Stephens and Lucy Punch, but this film actually works where Vexed does not. I like the way the roles are reversed with the male and female police officer roles. Good luck and can't wait for your next film...

  • Wonderful, very well done. Please watch our entry FROM THE CELLAR. Thanks a lot and good luck!!

  • Wow not really commet related by I recognise the two locations! Queens Park where I live and the Saatchi building at Digitas London offices where I have worked in the past! Anyway really like the way you have used the 2:20 maximum effect. I assume that the dialogue is cliché to match the genre. I like the way the first half is a slow burner and in typical murder mystery the end is wrapped up quickly. The ending also has a great twist

  • I like it. A love the surreal mixed in there reminds me of a bit Twin Peaks, a bit Inception, and playing on the dialogue of shows like Lewis and Midsummer Murders. The leads are great nice use of London landscape reminds me of Jonathan Glazer's darker music promos.

  • What a great film and a fantastic location!

  • Is that girl at the end related to Whitney off Eastenders? What a contrast. Nice finish.

  • Really liked this! Interesting camera angles aplenty and leaves you wanting to know more - reminds me of Radioheads 'Just' video.

  • Love it :) Great twist to the story

  • Thanks for the feedback. Like to take the chance to thank all the cast and crew for their help.

  • Just before I say anything about the film, I have to congratulate myself for finally figuring out how to attach an image to my profile! Now back to the film, the dude who played the corpse was just brilliant. Loved it! Knitting chav was amazing. All in all 9/10!
