I have always liked this movie, i feel it is a great debut performance by Chesney Hawkes, who plays Buddy perfectly. The movie captures every young persons dreams of becoming a rock star perfectly, Nigel Hinton in my view did a great job of converting his movie to the screen. The cast throughout is solid especially Rodger Daltry who was amazing in this. He really was believable as a 50's throwback who liked his dodgy dealings on the side. The soundtrack to this is brilliant, the one and only is a pop classic and it also includes some other great songs such as Nothing serious; you have to love the video for it in the car wreckers.
The movie is a decent horror movie but ruins itself by not explaining the character Craig. You see the picture with him as a child and the doctor, so you know he comes from the abandoned hospital but that is it. The movie does not explain why he is disfigured in such a manor, what the purpose of the tests on foetuses were, why he was pictured with the doctor or why Craig seems so strong. There also seems no motive on behalf of Craig. Script: 5/10- dialogue was reasonable. Directing: 8/10- pulls off the darkness and scary scenes just right. Acting: 5/10- I don't see any Oscar nominations appearing soon. Storyline: 2/10- Poorly explained. Overall: 5/10
