A 21st century Clockwork Orange


There are similarities with a Clockwork Orange. Like drinking milk in a pub and classical music.

Yes, but this film was rubbish

seen this a 100 times before, be done better, a lot better. Comparing this to Clockwork Orange? This ain't even close to being a good movie never mind a classic, might of tried and obvious rips from Clockwork like the milk and baseball bats ... that ain't gonna lift it from the realms of despair it reached. On a positive note despite the rubbish script there are a few decent actors ( Darren James King, Chris Bell) that made this a 1 star movie. Hopefully get to see them in something better and see what they can do with a good script.

And thats where the similarities end. Because, as mentioned IAH is utter and complete rubbish. I urge people to watch the first ten minutes, or if youre a masochist sit through all of it. No really, you will sit there open mouthed at how bad it is. The lighting of scenes is one bad thing, its like we are back in the days of Ed Wood, the thing is all over the shop, the dodgy angles, the whole thing looks like it was shot handheld by someone with a clubfoot. The camerawork is not just bad, its downright offensive. In this day and age of decent priced dslr cameras and editing/effects software there is no excuse. Where the hell does the money raised to make these things go?
Whingett can't be that expensive, I can only assume it went to pay off the directors mortgage arears.

So take a look, just don't be duped into paying for it, or send it back like I will be.

And don't be fooled by the early positive reviews as these are obviously the makers themselves.
