Fatal Frames

Looks and sounds like a shoddy 80s music video, despite being made in 1996. On paper, the giallo-esque premise might be promising and suitably convoluted, but it really doesn't work on screen. Some horrendous crimes against hair, fashion and acting are committed; the actual wrongdoing in the film feels tame by comparison. All manner of genre stalwarts turn up and are poorly-used in largely pointless scenes. This film also seems to last an eternity. A turd, best avoided.
