At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This really is an excellent short film. So much is communicated by economic means.Much is made of the location, the ruins of St. Athan Boys Village which is in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. One doorway of the ruin is made to look sinister and threatening. It is here that much will happen.The film explores a lot, but most notably the dynamic between the world we inhabit as a child and as a teenager. The two worlds are different sides of the same coin.There is a visual dialogue between these two worlds. The world of the child is trying to reach out to the world of the teenager.

The setting, a derelict boy's holiday camp somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and the concept, the spirits of bygone occupants, provide a wonderful opportunity for excellent drama. But sadly this production simply fails to exploit the potential of the circumstances. The first few minutes of any short movie are crucial to establish interest but I found myself thinking of something else after two minutes and actually yawning after five. Even a masturbation scene, presumably inserted to inject more interest, simply fails fails to deliver the goods and I was left wondering how so much time and effort could be given to something so boring.
