Firstly, everything that happens in this film is so improbable that it lacks any sort of credibility that anything that happens in this film could even remotely happen in real life. But if you accept the film as a total twisted fantasy, it's an interesting idea and an original conception.
And talking of twisted, this has more plot twists than is hardly containable in any film.
Having said that, I still found it an entertaining film.
It was well made, and you could never guess what was going to happen next.
It was not particularly gory, most of the mystery was psychological, but it had a few gruesome moments and made you wonder what horrible things were going to happen next.
It's pretty grim, but there can be limits to how many twists you can accept in a film, and this film way overstepped that mark.
Overall though, it was a pretty good film, even though the character motivations, which were piled on one after another, were pretty wacky.
It kind of made sense in the end, but not the sort of sense that would ever apply in reality, I enjoyed it though, but the outrageousness of its premise took away some of its potential to be one genuinely scary. By trying to pack in so many plot twists, it kind of overreached itself.

I first saw this film in the early seventies as the support film for some self- indulgent surfing film whose score was written by Pink Floyd. The Floyd film was really boring, but this film - well no one could have warned me about this. It's truly beyond words, which is why I am not even going to attempt to delve into it.
There are very few films that actually change your life, but this one did that for me. It took me to a world so different from any world I could ever conceive of and opened my mind to the full potential of the imagination.
Of course, it's beautiful, sometimes scary, and always totally captivating. I had never seen a film like this before, and doubt I will ever see anything like it again.
I kept returning to the cinema every night to see it again, then left before the Pink Floyd film came on.
So glad it's on the BFI player. Guess what I'll be watching tonight? Probably at least twice over, maybe more. OCD? Maybe, but my mind is now peopled by the strangest creatures who could never be imagined by anyone else. The word genius is used to often, but the makers of this film had some weird chemistry going on which took them way beyond The Twilight zone and into a realm no one had been before.
It's a good job I was only 13 when I first saw this and had not discovered acid!

This series follows the story of the rise of the Tudors and the twists and turns and bloody battles of the war of the roses.
The narrators were well chosen and the re-enactments were spot on. It's a complicated story, but is presented in a way which is easy to follow.
Some might be put off by the frequent use of bad language and gore during the dramatised scenes, but for me this just made it more gripping and realistic.
Well worth watching if you have any interest in history, or even if you just like a riveting drama.
