Dream come true(?)

The movie begins very strongly, with a very visual (black and white) style. It is a nice choice and it adds to the whole package of the movie. While it blends genres (horror and drama), it seems to be on a good way. Unfortunately after a very good first half of the movie, the rest let's the ideas and themes a bit down. Which comes down to the story starting to lack (and being too predictable) and to the actors not being up to the task (or not getting enough challenge).

If I were only to rate the style and or the themes this tries to convey, I would have rated it higher too (as the few others who have done that already), because I do like movies who stray away from mainstream cinema as much as I like a good entertaining movie, too. But that is not the case, as I have written above. The thing is, that the movie ought to be seen more than some other movies that come out in Greece, even with its flaws. I haven't looked into the director, but it seems, like he/she is at the beginning of a nice career, if the person stays true to himself/herself, but can grab the attention and hold the suspense high throughout the movie!
