This is probably a film would make a passable 'first horror' film for a teenager ... however as a thirty something I found it dull, facile and utterly boring. If you like a film with some sort of pace - this is certainly not the film for you. It's a shame as the cast seems promising and the premise is actually quite interesting. The main issue this film has is it is sloooooow to the point of being a cure for insomnia. I'm assuming the idea was to give the viewer plenty of 'getting to know you' room with the characters so we really really care about them, get invested in them. Yeah -that doesn't happen here. All that happens is you find yourself watching the clock waiting to see how long it is before it ends. Adding to that is lacklustre cinematography, dull scripts and painful to watch teen led drama and all in all this film is a fail.

We watched this last night. My partner has been waxing lyrical about this films for as long as we've been together. i've always been fairly resistant to be honest - I've always enjoyed listening to the Stones, but never really got 'The Stones'. As far as I was concerned they are rock legends, sure but that's about the size of it. Their really great mid sixties stuff was contemporary Waaaaay before my time. I really didn't get the whole Stones mystique. Well, I can say I now get it. Wow do I! I can't say I've ever been a massive believer in the 'Mick Jagger Sex God' hype. But I can see why he had the rep he did - So dark and alluring and dangerously different. This film has certainly opened my eyes up to a whole new world ... I'm really looking forward to re-listening to their albums with this new world view.
