Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Nitzan Havoc Let me start by saying I've made a mistake. I was looking for a Horror film, and was naive enough to think a title involving "haunted" would be Horror. I must have forgotten to double check.Second - I have no idea how to review this. I don't think I was able to understand the plot, the twist (was there one?) or even the main gist. I could only assume that the director, while trying to make us feel as confused about the border between reality and psychosis as the protagonist. Problem is - if we don't know what's real, we can't understand the film, now can we?I have not seen the Twilight trilogy, so I'm enough unbiased to be able to say that Pattinson's acting in this film wasn't as superb as other reviews would have you believe. It was good, yes, but not magnificent. The dialogues are confusing, bizarre and almost surreal. The one thing good about the script was the poetic touch in the letters Toby wrote Julia.So... all in all? I have no idea what happened in this film, why the events turned the way the did, and what caused it. A very unrewarding experience.

treeline1 During WWll, a young pilot (Robert Pattinson) who was crippled in combat is sent to a mysterious sanitarium for shell-shocked soldiers. Not only is he tortured by nightmares, but his therapist (Julian Sand) has some pretty unorthodox techniques.This BBC pseudo-thriller is big on shadowy atmosphere but short on every other essential; there is no coherent plot, the music is terrible, and it all seems sadly pointless. Made two years before "Twilight," Pattinson doesn't yet have the shaggy hair, bushy eyebrows, and blank gazes that would make him so popular as a vampire; here he's clean cut, youthful, and gives a fairly good performance, albeit one that relies heavily on long, slow drags on his cigarettes. As his doctor, Julian Sand's character and motives are never explained; most of his performance must have ended up on the cutting room floor. In any event, he is wasted in the part. The problem is the script - it is completely incoherent. The characters aren't developed and the action is confusing. We never know if what we are seeing is real or a dream and the dialogue had me rolling my eyes and scratching my head.This low-budget flick makes no sense. It's an utter waste of time except for those who want to see pre-Edward RPattz.

woinaroschy_1979 Being a big Robert Pattinson fan (I admit it is due to the whole Twilight madness, he did not catch my eye in Harry Potter at all, wonder why? I probably am mostly in love with Edward in fact), I was curious to see this film...so I saw it had a lot of bad reviews, but as a fan you have also some responsibilities, so...I have to say, the only really bad things about this movie are the script and Julian Sands. I have not read the book, so no idea what the movie wanted to describe, but to me (spoiler alert) this movie just shows how Toby is slowly but surely getting mad, due to a guilty conscience from his awful war experiences, added to his fury and despair that he is now impotent(being paralysed from hip down or so). Did I get that right? The script is just awful, and I mean awful, leaves too many holes, scenes at the beginning are just like stop and go, action/cut..perhaps they want to show how Toby feels, the chaos and craziness?? If that was the point, good job, no one understands a thing anymore and people get bored. At the middle of the movie, things seem to flow a bit better. Rob plays really well his part, very mature and convincing,I was impressed! Julian Sands on the other hand is not convincing at all and seems not to know exactly if he should play the bad doctor or the good doctor...or is that intended too? for me he is really trying in his way to help Toby, then gets too involved with auntie and gets a bit carried away, but he does not seem like a Dr. Frankenstein to me. The shadows and spiders are all in Toby's mind. So yeah, all a bit confusing, I guess for this movie it all depends on what you want to see and understand from it, you need a bit of patience and to have an open mind. Still it is an interesting movie, a bit different from the whole Hollywood-industry-big-block-buster-same scripts-same ideas-stereotypes-movies. Watch it!

tinkerbell10 The film was good, not fantastic but definitely not terrible. The acting was fantastic though, especially Robert Pattinson. It was quite hard to follow the story as it moved around a lot and left things unexplained, but that all adds to suspense. The ending was very confusing though that was the only bit I really didn't like. Overall the movie was watchable and I would watch it again for the sake of Robert Pattinson, maybe the story would be more clear the second time round as I have not read the book. For just over a hour the film is really well done and acted, definitely recommend watching twice before you decide whether you like it or not.I wouldn't say the film was terrible I've seen much much much WORSE!
