  Headspace has more twists and turns than Spaghetti Junction. Alex Borden has a problem, he is growing smarter and smarter, using more of his brain than anyone ... read more »

  College Kid Genious has Wild Time...
  
  Not only is the guy a genious - he also has a wild time! And so can you do to... which is probably why you're looking for a fim like this!

  It's OK
  
  Alright, so it isn't the best horror film in the world, but it doesn't deserve the scorn poured on it in the majority of reviews here. The pace is OK... read more »

  Well-Acted Horror
  
  This is a horror film, 100%. It is therefore a load of absolute nonsense. However, it is one of the best produced horror films I have seen. Most horror films... read more »
