CGiii Comment
Read's debut and what a dark mind he has.
There is no denying that he is a director of huge potential - this oozes quality and skill.
Collette, possibly the busiest actress in the world, delivers as she always does...as do all the actors.
This is a team effort that came together - the design, the score all lend significantly towards the tension and the darkness that Read creates.
Rarely does a debut have this impact.
PS - Sort out the title before you distribute - very confusing and it makes the film lack identity.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The forensic psychiatric Sally Rowe is called by Detective Martin Mackenzie to analyze the profile of the teenager Alex Forbes, who was found in a train station holding the body of his schoolmate Nigel Colby and with powder in his hand. Alex discloses his relationship with Nigel, who believes that they were descendants of the Templar Knights, and how Nigel used the power of his mind to control him. Mackenzie believes that Alex is the killer, but Susan investigates the family of Nigel under pressure of Alex's father, and finds that all of them belong to an ancient and powerful secret society.
