This interesting indie horror has a wonderful cast including Larry Fessenden, Sean Young, Dee Wallace Stone (E.T.’s mom!), Udo Keir, Mark Margolis and even Olivia Hussey…what a truly great cast.
The film follows Alex Borden (perhaps a distant cousin of the infamous Lizzie?) as he begins to take on knowledge at an alarmingly fast rate (think John Travolta in Phenomenon fast). His increased capacity for learning soon morphs into hearing voices and seeing demons and that’s when a number of people begin to die in some spectacularly gruesome and well executed ways.
The film is very different to the majority of straight to DVD horror films out there at the moment, but I always feel a little let down by these all in the mind or is it? Flicks, as it takes something away. Perhaps I just feel that it gives filmmakers licence to be over the top in terms of creativity and explain it all away as being in someone’s mind?
OVERALL SUMMARY
Headspace is worth a rent thanks to its superb cast, solid performances and awesome FX.
