- jasonfin2vor 5 TagenA British Giallo! With a stellar cast of British actors from Larry Lamb, Ingrid Pitt, Phil Davis, Miranda Richardson, Denholm Elliott etc I knew I was in for something special and I was not wrong! While many viewers didn't like this movie, look at the reviews, I think they approached it from an unrealistic standpoint, expecting another hellraiser, nightbreed or hammer horror. But that's not what this is! This is a British Giallo and it tells you that as it's based around the fever dreams of heroin addicts. The score even sounds like it was written and performed by The Goblins but it's not. In fact it is scored by Underworld who did Born Slippy, one of the best dance tracks of the 90s and made famous through Trainspotting. Honestly, just treat this as a British Giallo and you'll love it, from the neonesque settings, to the music, to the plot not always making sense as it's not supposed to in the Giallo context. Of course you then also have the undercurrents of the cure being worse than the addiction (methadone vs heroin) and the digs at big pharma and their miracle cures (Oxycotin anyone?). So this film was way ahead of its time in that regard too. Highly underrated and deserves to be respected much more than it is because of the unfair Clive Barker, who hates this film, expectations.
