Sam Neill stars in this film about how truth, reality and
fiction can blur, with disastrous consequences.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A couple of passionate kisses. An elderly man is shown laying
on a floor naked and you can briefly see his buttocks.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Because of the "quickness" of the horror scenes
(it's hard to tell exactly what you are seeing) and because of a surprising minimum of
blood, this rating is a relatively low 6. There are a handful of times where a
"montage" is shown of quick scenes of horror and gore (shown one right after the
other) and what can be gleaned are people with hideous facial deformities (usually with
one eye), a bloody axe, people with tendrils whipping from their bodies, crashing,
yelling, screaming and falling, splatters of blood. A group of people with axes surround a
man and hack him to death with blood splattering on the walls and the man's bloody hand
leaving a trail on the wall as it slides down (minus half a finger).
PROFANITY 5 - Five F-words, 9 scatological terms, and a few other mild
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Horror novels, truth vs. fiction, the power of the written
word, insanity, random acts of violence.
MESSAGE - The written word is very powerful; sometimes it's hard to tell
where truth ends and fiction begins.
