This is an awkward combination of really spooky horror movie and really boring coming-of-age picture. After falling ill, a girl (Charlotte Burke in her only screen appearance) discovers that she has a Simon-like ability to enter her own drawings. In her fantasy world she encounters a paraplegic boy (Elliott Spiers, who did only one movie after this) and comes to grips with her anxieties, particularly those surrounding her absentee father (Ben Cross). Some of the darker corners of this production are well crafted, but overall it’s dull stuff. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
