    This was really fun to watch in the cinema. I noted the homages to the Shining with the corridor and bathroom, the top-down bed shot in American Beauty, the penultimate scene of the original Carrie, and Roald Dahl's Witches. I'd like to avoid comparisons to the Fly.

    I was asked, "if this doesn't deserve full marks, what are its weaknesses?" Firstly, we're not sure if it'll be a classic. That's just me being a pretentious hipster. Secondly, and I never…
