I apologize in advance for any plot spoilers, but the fact is,I didn't fully understand what was happening. The film is made in black and white which means "art" and not "horror." It is listed as a mystery and the biggest mystery is why I sat through the thing. Hope (Hetty Bentley) is missing. She is Rachel's (Jane Hamlet) sister and we know this because Rachel has a picture of her with "sister" written on the front and Hope's name on the back. Rachel apparently shows art and was a student of Richie (Charles O'Neill) who wants his work shown. Richie is friends of Nicolas (Mark Cornwell) who Rachel hates and we find out why at 52 minutes into the feature.
Now Rachel is not someone I would share my coke with as she goes bats*** crazy. The soundtrack was a piano that was played rather badly and was annoying. There are scenes that repeat themselves and we discover "it is always darkest before the dawn" and "even in daylight the dark clouds surround us." I had to pause the film, get up and do something else about every 4 minutes. It was that tough to watch. And what was with that near Russian Orthodox cross they flash on the scene near the end? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
