Ronald M I usually describe this movie as an amazing build up to disappointment. They had some issues hen making this movie so the ending is just bad. But the beginning is phenomenal, and the buildup to the middle Amazing. The main character (Frederick Koehler) carries the movie perfectly and they made great use of Michael Berryman. It is worth the watch for the beginning and middle, and I've even shown just those parts to a couple people. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Logan D A mentally disabled youth is provoked to do harm by a demonic reflection. A singular vision based on the nightmares Getty had as a child. Filming began in 2002 and the film wasn't completed until 2017, two years after Getty's death. The film has many flaws but perhaps we can forgive them with the illnesses of two of the cast members, McGrory and Berryman, as well as the sickness of Getty himself. The film was finished by his editor. I will say that I still loved the film, however, despite it's flaws. The opening is a remarkably intense set piece and the finale a Grand Guignol garnering my highest respect. The bulk of the rest of the film is carried by Koehler, who manages to portray Dennis as a sympathetic and realistic mentally handicapped man who happens to be haunted by a Gollum like other self. The film falls flat whenever he isn't on screen, focusing mainly on the relationship of Dennis' brother and his fiancé. If you want something different and willing to forgive flaws, recommended. Last appearance of McGrory. His scenes were filmed in 2005.
