A homicide detective hunts a killer who is literally taking girls hearts. When his own fiancée falls victim to the killer, the detective discovers the otherworldly intentions of the killer and is helped from beyond the grave by his fiancée. Written by Daniel Jos. Leary
What a fantastic romance fantasy horror thriller! At my age of 52, I actually like it when a film proceeds not always at full speed, but lingers on one detail or another.
My biggest enjoyment was to see Franz Schubert's String Quartet in D minor (D.810), with variations on Death and the Maiden, being played at the concert hall - until dripping blood interrupted it... ("Orpheus and Eurydice" could also have been a well-fitting soundtrack).
Anatomically, a hole in the middle of the breast did not make sense to me - when you reach in there, spine and ribcage will block your way. But it's just a fantasy story, and quite enjoyable as such - and a big box of eye candy (take the curved corridor with reflecting walls as just one example).
I find it a good, strong movie which I can well recommend. If you love Stargate, you also find a touch of that in Sky High :^) Also, the last split-second (Mina points her sword at you and says "Go!") raises memories of the famous shoot-at-audience scene from Great Train Robbery (1903).
