The money spent on this film should rather have gone to a Film Academy Screenwriting School.

Any polish, cinematics, and other positives are completely undone. Poor story line, completely disjointed story elements.

Also it seems character development was not an important aspect. Back to school please, develop characters and cast them in a way that connects them with the audience link that with a good story and good acting . Preparation comes before a task. First prepare then make film.

This is a great pity. Good actors and cinematography. It wants for a gripping story. Looking for an an intriguing alien Sc-Fi story?... Look elsewhere.

The pace of this film reminds me of 'Mosquito Coast' , only slower, intolerable! But alas the reason for its slow movement is becoming clear, it's because there doesn't seem to be a Sci-Fi alien invasion story to tell, at least not in the initial crop of episodes...I'm not hanging around to find out more, seen this play out before.

Of course one bears in mind that as this is based on a true story there is a real tragedy and pain behind the entertainment value here. Here we see the sad manifestation of evil in the doings of a Psychopath, who chooses his victims carefully, the vulnerable and trusting, upon them control, fear manipulation and even death are meated out. Great casting, superb acting. The period-cinematics,costume and styling (1970's) are a treat. You will be drawn into the tension and horror of this piece all the way through. An added bonus, the performance of Tim McInnery (Lord Percy in Blackadder), always a pleasure to behold in this very polished production.
