"This is f****** bull*hit."

So exclaims one of the lead characters and I could not agree more! This is porn film thinly disguised as a horror short story. It's the old chestnut of a person been possessed by another and experiencing thrills vicariously. In this case, it's sex, of course.

Done far better lots of time before and just recently in the film, 'Skelton Key,' which, unlike this, was both spooky and interesting. Then again, if you like the idea of the new James Bond (Daniel Craig) stimulating sex with Karen Black, then this could the one for you!

Filmed like an art film with lots of art school lighting and camera shots, this still doesn't prevent it just been sleazy soft core porn. Terence Stamp should be ashamed of himself getting involved in doing the framing shots in this t&a debacle.
