Promising debut.

Not often a fan of musical productions but, I am a horror fan so gave this a punt.

It's certainly done a disservice by the "storyline" on here, but then again, it's also done a disservice by the musical element, the songs are really poor and make it feel like a local amateur theatre group performance.

The cast are mostly alright Paul Kaye's the clear scene stealer, athough worth mentioning Adheel Akhtar as the narrator too. The rest of the cast are a bit hit and miss, but I found MyAnna Buring quite a let down and the most amateurish element of the whole thing.

Short and sweet, I watch the next thing the director puts out - IF it's not a musical.

This short film from the mind of Otto Baxter (the first by a person with Downs Syndrome)was excellent, set in Victorian Britain in a Gothic Style it gives other Gothic Horrors a good run for their money. A story of an unwanted child, and a evil man,Superbly played by the Brilliant Paul Kaye,really scary role Hope he gets the credit he deserves he stole the show. Low Budget,High on shocks and gore. It is a brilliant attempt by Otto & his team to bring his dark story to life, there a jumps,blood, shocks,screams, all the stuff a good BRIT horror movie should have. The message was understood. GREAT.
