Goofs

In the on-screen written introduction, the last line reads "There inside the camera, they would remain Dead Still, Until Now.", which is grammatically incorrect. It should read "There, inside the camera, they would remain dead still, until now."

User Reviews

Extremely bad acting in a regular filming

I am surprise to see so many good reviews from users, with so low rating of the film.

Believe the rating.

This movie is bad, generally speaking. The story is weak, and there are so many inconsistencies, perhaps for the incompetence of the filmmakers, not really because it was unavoidable. Bad timing, wrong reactions to situations... etc.

Maybe the only thing that was notable was the not-so-bad costumes and the filming locations. But it was at all enough.

Finally , the acting was completely shocking, negligent.

The story of Victorian death photography: wasted.
