Surprisingly good and original!

Just seen it on the Horror Channel and quite liked it!

It obviously had a low budget but considering it was filmed in SURREY I thought the western scenes were well done and added to the mystique and legend of it all.

Acting was also pretty good and I don't know why people have a go at the gorgeous Natalia Celino as she wasn't bad (she didn't have much acting to do other than snarling or saying cryptic things!) and let's be honest is best when naked!

The plot and mirror could have been better explained but the locations were great (loved the cave scene), it was well shot in the snow (the final scene is rather 'Badlands' in its lyricism) and well acted by all especially Doug Bradly, Jonnie Hurn and young Rita Ramnani.

And the western soundtrack is fantastic. This in no way deserves an average rating of 3! It's more a solid 7/10 from me!

exactly. i didn't notice that its' a good film the first time i watched it. but the 2nd time i was watching it i noticed it's a good film. it's well made. it's artistic. it's not just a dumb, predictable, boring, generic movie like a hollywood theater movie. it has substance and has beauty and it achieved all of it's lofty ambitions.
