Storyline

Testing an experimental implant that gives people complete control over their environment, a secret agency assemble five strangers. According to profiling of reading habits, employment histories and shopping records, they are five of the most balanced people in England. These five are offered an opportunity to spend a week in a specially designed house, in which they will have ultimate power during set hours of the day within their own rooms. From creating objects out of thin air to changing their own appearance, anything is possible within the house. The subjects' vital signs will be measured from afar to check that everything is OK. Two of the subjects, David and Lucy, create an environment of 50s domestic tranquility. Another, Charlotte, uses the power to gain knowledge and advance mankind.

User Reviews

An okay effort

An odd little movie that promises a lot but in the end its grasp falls someway short of its reach. As lo-budget films go, it has some strong positives - A funny script, some excellent cameos, ideas and invention - but it is unfortunately let down by some poor special effects and some terrible acting from three of the four leads. Amber Moelter, Tom Wontner and Hannah Speller are very wooden and not very convincing and are easily out shone by the rest of the cast.

It's a shame really, as the opening 5-10 minutes promise a great deal. His follow up, Hellbride, is a much better movie and I look forward to seeing Killer, Killer shortly.
