Different...

[lost-in-limbo · 7/10 · 31 December 2021]

Well, this obscure, ultimately strange British chiller left me with more questions than answers. Mainly thanks to its very ambiguous storytelling. It's particularly slow, and very little happens progression wise, but I found it engagingly hypnotic. Loose or untouched story threads (which sometimes don't feel connected) come and go despite the plot feeling very slight. You could say it felt like a short story stretched out, because there was a real focus on filming techniques (lingering camera shots, piercing sound fx, intrusively uneasy music etc) to pad out scenes, but those deliberate moments really added to the disquieting atmosphere brought upon by the constant foreshadowing of ominous warnings to come. The style was giving off arthouse vibes, but those moments are extremely well executed, and eerily moody. Especially the film's opening and climax. I was bowled over by how well the latter was staged.

You know what's coming, but the tension holds strong and the imagery was striking. Hard to truly explain what it's all about, as throughout we get haunting premonitions and symbolic images with very little groundwork, but obviously it had something to do with the spoilt daughter being upset with her father (Edward Woodward), and possibly putting a curse on him. The relationship between the two is odd, even a little uncomfortable, but again it's vague with possible, small hints. It's one of those films, I think would work better on repeat viewings due to its cryptic style, and visual trappings.. somewhat a journey. I would love to see a clean print as it still remains absent from digital.

Interesting, slow, but atmospheric chiller

[volcaniccustard-02123 · 7/10 · 27 July 2022]

Unlike some other reviews, I didn't find this particularly strange or ambiguous - especially if you have watched a few classic horrors/thrillers from around that time. It is dated in the build-up, and could have done with some editing to keep the tension tighter. But without giving the plot away, I think it is fairly explicit about what is going on and why - and with a little thought, what had happened 3 years earlier. The acting is terrific, and the film is inventive in how it tells the story, making exceptional use of what must have been a limited budget with some lingering set pieces that I will never forget to boot. I would class this as a slow burner thriller with horror elements, based primarily around 24 hours in a family's life. A slow, sometimes very slow journey, but a rewarding detour nonetheless.

The Appointment

[henry8-3 · 5/10 · 10 November 2022]

A young girl is abducted by an evil force in the woods and 3 years later another 14 year old girl, besotted with her father, is upset that he will miss her music concert because of a last minute appointment he has to drive to. Evil forces visit the family in the night causing all sorts of unpleasant dreams as well as seemingly affecting the family car.

Whilst there is a lot wrong with this in terms of stilted acting and dialogue and a plot which is no doubt filled with clever metaphors which I missed, there remains plenty to admire here. The whole thing is rich in atmosphere and whilst it is clear where it's all heading, you are really drawn in. The plot itself makes little sense and the fairly shocking beginning and post climax scene feel like a disconnected afterthought and the 'haunting' of the car, a bit bewildering. Again, this is compensated for by carefully pacing and strong focus on scenes leading to an exciting, extremely well crafted climax - Hollywood should take note.

Terror in the daylight

[Vince-5 · 14 December 2001]

Possible (very) minor spoilers.

The Appointment is, it seems, a very obscure film. I don't know if it was ever theatrically released in the States, and the videotape isn't especially common.

For most people, the mention of British horror conjures up Hammer-style period images of castles, capes, etc. Here, the approach is decidedly different, as the film takes place in a modern, fairly innocuous Northern suburb and on a series of brightly-lit country roads. Edward Woodward and Jane Merrow are having trouble with their spoiled daughter Joanne (Samantha Weysom), who has ways of getting what she wants. Her pubescent routine is disrupted when Daddy is called away on business, forcing him to miss her school concert. Joanne is not happy...and Daddy, strapped into a rented Ford Granada, is in for a very disturbing journey.

The film's dry, uniquely British detachment will make it rough going for some, but it is definitely worth the trip. An extremely interesting look at horror in the places you would least expect it, The Appointment benefits from solid acting and striking use of sound. There are plenty of haunting, surprisingly beautiful visuals--some shocking (the scene in the auto garage), others very subtle, but always with that undeniable disturbance in the peaceful English atmosphere. With an excellent climax, definitely not for the weak-hearted. Too bad Lindsey Vickers never made any other films. Make an appointment to see it...provided your schedule is already clear, of course.

There's more than meets the eye in this creepy psychological horror.

[paulclaassen · 6/10 · 17 September 2022]

Three years ago, the 12-year old Sandy Freemont disappeared after taking a shortcut through the woods. The mystery is yet to be solved.

'The Appointment' is an interesting film. There are supernatural elements, but very subtle. Then there are the creepy dogs. One never really knows whether they are related, but both forces are frightening in their own right.

The film also contains family drama, with Ian (Edward Woodward) having to leave town for an appointment on the same day of his daughter, Joanne's first classical concert. Joanne is upset when she realizes he will miss the concert, and throughout the evening she keeps nagging him about it. There are suggestive moments that makes one believe Ian fooled around with his daughter, or still is, but this never surfaces.

Some scenes linger on purpose to create an unnerving suspense I haven't felt in a movie in a while. Ian's sleepless night before he had to leave, was incredibly suspenseful - thanks to clever photography and editing. That night - which seemed to go on forever (in a good way!) - had me on the edge of my seat.

Soon we realize his dreams were actually a premonition, with Ian's fate being sealed. 'The Appointment' is a horror movie without blood, guts and gore, but it is horrifying in a psychological sense - and creepy as hell. You have to read between the lines to fully understand it, though. There's more going on here than you might think.

Sporadically great, but ultimately disappointing early 80's chiller

[maxwellsnake24 · 6/10 · 9 February 2021]

Uneven early 1980's supernatural horror that features some sublime shocks amidst the tedium. A small rural up town bemused and shocked by the disappearance of a teenage schoolgirl, erects a fence around the area where the girl vanished to avoid history repeating itself.life goes on in the town with businessman Ian (Edward woodward) and his family, wife Dianne and highly strung daughter Joanne going through the motions of a mundane middle class existence, until everything suddenly and dramatically changes. The main problem I have with this movie is the underwritten threadbare screenplay. At times it felt like I was watching an episode of iconic British tv show 'hammer house of horror' albeit stretched out to feature film length ,thanks to many unnecessary and uneventful scenes that rather than drive or add anything to the narrative, instead come across as attempts to pad out the running time It's a shame really because when lindsey d Vickers debut feature gets it right, it really gets it right. Unlike a lot of supernatural shockers of the period, this movie contains some genuinely effective scares, I can think of at least two that weirded me out a while after watching, it's just when the director has you by the balls, he lets go too often. This movie would have been better as a short film, with all the extraneous celluloid gristle removed, as such it's still an slightly above average chiller. It just could have been so much more.

Strange and creepy, but nothing else much!

[Blondie_ · 6/10 · 10 January 2002]

This movie is good and bad. Very, very strange and unsettling is the best way I can think of to explain this British horror film. It was scary, shocking, and made my skin crawl with the typical quiet, non-gory British horror. It also features one of the most bizarre and agonizing car wrecks in the history of films! The drawback is there is virtually no plot development. There was no explanation as to what the evil was, why is was there, or what happened to it at the end. And why was the father the main target? It was basically a family going about their daily life and these scary things happening to them. Good on the scare value, blah on everything else! This a rare film to find, at least here in the states. I caught it because it used to be on A&E (Arts and Entertainment) on TV about ten years or so ago.

A Peculiar Horror Flick... Peculiar Because It Entertains, Though It's Full Of Holes...

[P3n-E-W1s3 · 5/10 · 17 September 2020]

My Ratings: Story 1.00 : Direction 1.00 : Pace 0.75 : Acting 0.75 : Entertaining 1.00 Total 4.50 out of 10.00

This is one of those little films that leaves you wondering, why? Indeed I had that question in my mind at the climax of the movie, though, I realised I had enjoyed the movie too.

The story is quite basic and leaves you to draw your own conclusions as to the climax and how we arrived there. The main body of the story centres around Ian, who is a loving family man. On the eve of his daughter Joanne's violin recital, his company calls into an important business meeting the following day. That night dreams of his death plague his sleep. Though, like most dreams, they fade in the light of day. We, the audience, though, quickly see the resemblances of his journey to his appointment and the previous nights' nightmare. We know that events on this road may not bode well for our family guy.

Woven into this is the awkward and slightly unnatural relationship between Ian and Joanne. The scene where she tries to use her sexuality and sweetness to get her way, while her mother watches on, left me uneasy and cold. You have the feeling there is something not quite right with Joanne... but you can't put your finger on it.

Though you never get to see any connection of the supernatural to her it is subtly, yet strongly, insinuated.

One of the strongest elements of the story and the film is how little conversation there is. For the better part of the film, nobody speaks. Even in the nightmare sequence and the continuing night scene, everything is controlled by sounds and visions. Lindsey C Vickers who both wrote and directed had a concept for this story. The nightmare sequence didn't captivate me. For me, it lacked imagination and tensity. Which is strange as the following night scene is a milieu of tension and ingenuity. Vickers uses not only lighting to set the scene and create ambience but slows the pace a tad to add an eerie and nervous feel. To that, he throws in a smidge of imagery, in the form of three large shadow dogs. Are these the hounds from the dream?

The next morning's journey is handled better than Ian's night terror trip. Though they could have provided us with more imaginative outside shots. Mostly the audience has to make do with looking up at Ian driving and watching the beautiful scenery flow speedily by the window. This is a great shame, as some long shots and downward views and sweeping camera pans would have made this such a better film. It could only have added more character and a sense of feeling to the film.

I would love to see this story reshot today. Imagine the beautiful drone camera work you could get. Flying across the desolate moors and swooping down a cliff face to come to rest on the only car on the road. I think this is the isolation Vickers was aiming for... but only somewhat captures.

I have to doff my cap to Vickers for the opening sequence. Showing the disappearance of Susan was genius. Not because it starts the story off in a creepy manner, but rather, because it has one of the best abduction scenes, ever. Now we know how the effect was implemented, though we can't help but feel creeped out by it. I even found myself saying, "Ouch!" as she's violently yanked into the undergrowth. I then doff my cap for the audacity he has to then give us the worst car crash, ever. If you decide not to hunt down this film, then you can pop over to YouTube and check out these two scenes. You'll quickly understand why they made it there. Awesomely Good - Awesomely Bad.

The acting is okay. There's not too much to say about it as there's little interaction between the characters. However, what is there, works. I will say, the actress who plays Joanne, Samantha Weysom, is much better when she doesn't speak. Her deliverance of lines is dire and unconvincing. Though, the scene between Woodward and herself is perfect in body language.

Though people have classed this as a gem, I will say it's not that good. It's passable, and it has some good ideas. A few of which work well, while others fall flat. This isn't a must-watch or a rush-out-to-buy film. It's a watch after you've caught up on everything else film. I'm glad I watched it and I'll be talking about the abduction and crash scenes with friends, but I'm not in any rush to watch it again soon. It could and should have been better.

Make an appointment to check out my Absolute Horror list and see where this car crash-landed in the rankings.

Take Care and Stay Well.

Long forgotten, very slow, but sometimes incredible

[Leofwine_draca · 9/10 · 3 July 2015]

Finally, a film where the pay-off really is worth the build-up to the event. This is one of those "omen" style films, a movie which starts off slowly and gradually builds the tension, retaining it to the final, horrific, edge-of-your-seat climax which will take time to fade from your memory. It's that good. Completely forgotten these days, this is a minor gem of a film, which, without the aid of any fancy special effects trickery or violence, creates a vivid atmosphere of suspense and genuine fear.

For the most part this is just typical character-orientated drama, with a few mysterious events happening occasionally to keep the pace going. The opening is a real eye-opener, and has an evil force similar to the one in THE EVIL DEAD lurking in some bushes before pulling a young girl through the air (achieved very realistically via a dummy and some string) to her death. This is a really spooky, perhaps even frightening, scene, and you expect the rest of the film to follow suit. It doesn't. We are then introduced to Edward Woodward and his family, and the pace slips back down into neutral until the final half an hour.

Woodward is the kindly family man who finds himself being haunted by weird dreams involving dogs attacking his car while outside the house real-life dogs prowl around. Woodward, familiar to genre fans from his role in THE WICKER MAN, is pretty good here, playing a typically matter-of-fact guy who might well be your next door neighbour. He is supported well by a cast of unknowns. Well, actually there are only three other main characters in the cast - his wife, his daughter and his car mechanic, whose sole presence is to die a horrific THE OMEN-style death involving a car, in a show-stopping scene which is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Samantha Weysom, who plays Woodward's daughter, has never been in anything else and is actually very good in her role. There are some really tense exchanges between the pair, and perhaps even hints of some incestuous desire lurking in there too: their scenes together are compelling and powerful, where much is left unsaid and you can almost feel the electricity in the air between them. Is Woodward's daughter a vengeance-seeking witch or innocent to the evil forces surrounding her? We never find out, and it's left up to our imagination - more effective that way.

The ending of this film is almost unbearable to watch, as you know what's coming, yet are unable to look away. Woodward undergoes the most arduous car journey in existence, travelling through some bleak-looking Welsh mountains where the isolated locations add to the spooky atmosphere. There then follows one of the most accurate, horrific car accidents I've ever seen put on film which has to be seen to be believed, it's a work of visual artistry. After this comes yet another nail-biting scene, which I won't spoil, except to say that the tension isn't relieved until the very end. This is the kind of film they don't make anymore, is completely gripping throughout, and well worth tracking down.

Interesting.

[TomFarrell63 · 6/10 · 28 January 2024]

This could have been a great film whereas the way it is, it's just an interesting one.

So little is explained, that it basically doesn't make much sense at all, but it's all done in a nicely understated manner, and builds up an unsettling, nightmarish /dream like atmosphere throughout.

I'm not the type that needs everything explaining in a film,but it helps to know a little as to why things are happening.

Acting is reasonable, although a little stilted at times, it's clear Edward Woodward is the most professional of the cast.

The end scenes are very good, and made me gasp, excellently shot and edited.

I watched this on a BFI blu ray, and to be honest it's not much to shout about quality wise, I don't think a DVD would look much different.

I am going to watch the extras on the blu ray and watch the film again with the commentary to see if there is any further explanation as to the events in the film.

A haunting 1981 obscurity that stays on your mind despite not making much sense.

[mwilson1976 · 4/10 · 17 March 2019]

Edward Woodward stars in this 1981 obscurity about a teenage schoolgirl violinist with an insatiable need for attention from her father.

The opening five minutes are super creepy, and the movie breaks with the tradition of British Horror that is the old gothic castles and flowing black cloaks, by focusing on a contemporary family living in the suburbs. The flat TV movie feel of the production also adds to the overall creepiness, giving the whole thing a dream like atmosphere. Unfortunately the story is hard to follow and makes little sense, and the super scary prologue seems to have no relevance to a plot which ultimately sees Woodward drive his Ford Granada off a cliff top.

A slowly tightening noose of terror..

[Brian-140 · 10/10 · 6 October 2002]

This film is unique - the horror of the situation derives more from what is implied rather than what is seen. A young girl violinist who is has an insatiable need for attention from her father invokes a dark force to eliminate her rival, thus granting her the star spot in the orchestra. But when her father informs her that he cannot attend her performance due to an "appointment" - she invokes the mysterious force against him.

The visual/audio effects are incredible: some very Hitchcockian touches throughout, especially the "invasion of the house" and the "restaurant" scene. The car crash scene is a masterpiece of surrealism. The film wisely does not plunge us right into the bizarre but slowly draws us in - until it is too late to escape.

Only one flaw: why is the dark force invoked against the mechanic? Her father would have left for the appointment in any case. And why the missing part on the roadway? Worth seeing though.

A whole lotta nothing going on.

[Aaron1375 · 3/10 · 7 February 2004]

This movie reels you in right from its opening scene where a girl is sucked into some bushes. Then you watch expecting something else creepy like that first scene, but do you get it? The answer to that my friends is a resounding 'No'! This is a very dull movie, and if there is one thing I can't stand a horror movie to be it is for it to be dull. A bunch of dream sequences and this and that and then an event happens the next day where there is a car wreck and then the payoff. The main problem is I do believe this premise was stretched out a bit too much. This might have been a rather good short story, but there was just not enough stuff here for an hour and a half movie.

is not good enough

[christopher-underwood · 5/10 · 28 July 2022]

There is a strange moment of a girl lost in the woods, abducted violently. Three years later a man cannot go to his daughter's violin recital and has a terrible dream and a crash that may be connected. However this doesn't really work out or make enough as a film. The actors seen okay but the dialogue is not good enough and nothing really makes any sense. It is all very slow and although there are the odd now and again moments it is just not enough.

Genuinely foreboding supernatural thriller

[jjunebb · 10/10 · 10 June 2020]

The Appointment is a genuinely foreboding supernatural thriller. Intelligently conceived, meticulously paced, it quietly and deftly unravels the disquieting course of events until the astonishing final scene. While it is set in a very ordinary, quiet English town, there is an almost palpable atmosphere of pent-up malevolence, introduced in the opening scene, and persistent throughout. Whether it emanates from a human being or it is something all together different, is left to your imagination to decide. Ian (Edward Woodward) is about to embark on an unexpected long trip to a business meeting. His daughter (Samantha Weysom), a musically gifted but peculiar girl who is overly attached to her father, takes it to heart when he has to leave instead of attending her violin recital. The girl is cloying and demanding, driving her mother Dianna (Jane Merrow) to the edge of impatience. The girl pleads with him not to go until his tight-lipped tolerance finally snaps, only to regret it and be condemned to a restless night. Troubled by his daughter's behaviour, and anxious about the long drive the following morning, sleep eludes him, until, finally dozing off, he experiences a pervasive disturbing dream. The inclusion of dreams in films is so often fascinating, and rich in symbolism, and sometimes the dreams can be portents or forewarnings that the dreamer should heed, but rarely do. There are carefully placed clues to caution him from taking the trip, from an incident in the garage repairing his car, to the moment, halfway to his to his journey's end, he calls home and is cut off just as his wife is telling him she had the same dream. She is feeling that something is amiss but doesn't have the chance to tell him to turn back. Although he observes a number of troubling motifs as he drives, he cannot make sense of them and continues on. Even an opportunity to alter the outcome, when he realises his watch has stopped and inadvertently left it in the phone booth after calling his wife. He returns to retrieve it, and proceeds on his way. Woodward is superb as an overwrought man who appears to have an unshakable feeling that things are not quite as they seem, and that his destination is also his destiny. This film might not make you jump out of your skin, but it will haunt you with an uneasy feeling of dread long after the extraordinary ending of one man's appointment with fate.

Did not care for this movie

[sdjnyc · 4/10 · 18 June 2011]

"The Appointment" is confusing (the opening scene has nothing to do with the rest of the movie), slow and boring. I watched this movie four times, the first three times I fell asleep. I finally got through the entire movie the fourth time. After the movie ended I wanted to know one thing: What was that (the movie) about? Like I said, the opening scene (a girl getting snatched out of nowhere by an unseen force--the only interesting part of the movie) has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. The rest of the movie is about a spoiled little girl who gets upset with her father because he cannot make it to one of her "concerts." So she decides to kill him using supernatural powers. At least, that's what I think it's about, but I'm not really sure. As I stated earlier in my post, the movie is confusing and makes absolutely no sense at all.

From Its Opening Scene, This Is A Well-Ordered Piece, Thanks To The Able Leadership Of Writer/Director Vickers.

[rsoonsa · 9/10 · 27 June 2008]

Lindsey Vickers, who scripts and directs this enigmatic film, offers a viewer just enough information to raise questions, at the same time presenting enough plums in the pudding to warrant an alert audience wishing for answers in return, but providentially style triumphs over substance. Vickers constructs an unquestionably suspenseful tale of predestination that revolves about a talented young violinist who manifestly possesses significant preternatural powers, more than sufficient to drastically affect those about her. Action opens with a three year flashback scene as we view a 12 year old girl carrying her casebound violin while walking from her school toward her home, traversing a secluded coppice, Crombie Wood, wherein she is suddenly seized (in a highly eerie scene) by a baleful force that slaughters her. Three years after, Joanne Cameron (Samantha Weysom), a 14 year old student at the same school, and also a violinist of a high order, is seen approaching a now abandoned Crombie Wood (fenced to discourage any who might otherwise trudge through it) where she speaks at the barrier to someone or something unseen just within the enclosure. Joanne's affection for her father Ian (Edward Woodward) is obsessive, and when he cannot attend her solo examination recital because of a business appointment, the child's paranormal facility is apparently utilized in the service of evil, thereby raising nocturnal havoc with Ian and Joanne's mother Dianna (Jane Merrow), as the married pair have nightmares in union that share numerous dire elements. In the morning following the tandem bad dreams, Ian drives to his business appointment in a loaned automobile, as his is being serviced, and it is soon apparent that vital auto related components from within the nightmare are being enacted during the light of day, and a powerful perception of upcoming danger is fashioned through the script. It is this premonition of dread that securely establishes the tension marking the film from its opening scene, a viewer wondering specifically how, or if, Ian will be victimized consonant with the display of frightful events that comprised a large portion of the mentioned dreams. Well-wrought and intense domestically flavoured episodes mingle congruent with scenes of suspense, according credible shape to the whole. Helping to nourish a viewer's interest are nicely conceived passages showcasing visual and aural synchronicity, based for the largest part upon the dream sequences, while a gripping atonal score by Trevor Jones and resourceful camera-work from Brian West provide intensive underpinning to a film that never retreats away from the plot line perception of Vickers. Especial note shall be made of a solo car crash occurrence that is shot and edited in a highly persuasive manner. Acting honours are to the expressive Merrow for her turn as a decisive pivot between her husband and daughter. Filmed to a large extent within scenic Snowdonia National Park of North Wales, this undervalued film had but infrequent theatrical showings before being released to video and has not since emerged in a DVD format.

Made of wood

[ivan_dmitriev · 2/10 · 21 December 2018]

The acting in this movie is wooden, and assorted with its annoying violin track you'll scream for merci and mute this abomination 15 minutes in. The overdub narration makes it everso more pretentious and doesn't help with the overal dullness of the movie.

Do not recommend to anyone.

One of the worst movies ever. And I hate Edward Woodward One of the worst actors ever. Boring, Slow, Garbage! Current 6.0 score is a joke!

[Bababooe · 1/10 · 20 July 2017]

One of the worst movies ever. And I hate Edward Woodward One of the worst actors ever. Boring, Slow, Garbage! Current 6.0 score is a joke!

The beginning was great, with the girl walking the path and then suddenly being sucked into the woods. Watch the first 3 minutes then shut it off. That happened apparently 3 years before the rest of this crap. So, 3 years later. No significance to the dates. We are introduced to the boring Mr. Woodward and his mechanic, wife, and spoiled rotten 14 year old girl. All of this is complete trash writing, put forward with crap acting by Woodward and the rest. But Woodward takes the cake for some serious crap acting. He was just as bad in The Wickerman, possibly worse film than this. Christopher Lee should have been ashamed of being in that film. He was also in a lot worse. His Dracula appearances had great presence, but still his acting was always trash. Mr. Lee was more of a fashion model, rather than an actor. Now, Woodward, what a name! Maybe he's the namesake for wooden acting. His character here acts exactly like the Wickerman character. I'm sure if you knew him personally, he probably acted the same.

Technically, the cinematography was good. The editing and pacing sucked. Too many repetitive scenes, slow and boring. The music was competent. The sound effects were boring. The story sucked all over the place. We don't know what is going on. There's some dog references, with a truck with dogs with horns painted on it. Nothing is explained. And anything can be implied. Was this some kind of Omen copy? I don't know.

So, what we are left with is a boring, slow, crap of a movie. Watch the first 3 minutes, then dream of a better movie in your own head.

F, 1 star. Forget-about-it!

Why is this director one-and-done with features?

[udar55 · 8/10 · 3 October 2009]

British businessman Ian (Edward Woodward) disappoints his young daughter (Samantha Weysom) by telling her that a sudden meeting will keep him from seeing her big violin recital. She is crushed and there is tension in the family all night, to the point that Ian yells at his daughter. This leads to both Ian and his wife (Jane Merrow) both having bizarre dreams involving some hell hounds and Ian losing control of his car. Naturally, this does not bode well for his upcoming drive to his appointment.

While this won't replace THE WICKER MAN as Woodward's best horror movie, this is a pretty enjoyable horror film with an incredibly sinister undertone. Basically, the daughter is in cahoots with some kind of demonic force that she unleashes to take out whomever (school rivals, her own father) makes her angry. It should be stated up front that the film is incredibly tempered and anyone expecting flat out scares throughout will be disappointed after a rousing opening where a girl is sucked into the woods by a unseen force. Woodward is good as the pushover father who finally decides to show a bit of backbone and the rest of the cast is fine. And while you will probably map out what is going to happen to Woodward long before he does, the film ends with an absolutely spectacular car crash. It's FINAL DESTINATION for old folks! Director Lindsey Vickers only made this one feature length film and that is really a shame because this is great moody stuff.
