![]() All in all, I believe that with proper distribution audiences will embrace this film. The story is unique and engaging, the cinematography artistically stunning, the effects dramatically appropriate for the dark subject matter, and it has a wonderful soundtrack that allows us to hear Jim's beautiful voice again throughout. With unending edge of your seat tension, my adrenaline was pumping the entire time and there were a few unexpected moments that made me jump. However, I did find Joseph Mawle's performance as "Papa B" to be especially creepy. The other characters in the film seem to simply support the storyline, and none of them alone has too much screen time. Jamie's nuanced transformation retains his persistent, underlying insecurity, never straying far from who he truly is on the inside, thus allowing us to accept, or question, what truly makes us human or a monster. Especially poignant is when a physical metamorphosis into beauty takes place. When tragedy occurs, we see Jim's talents shine through as an emotionally distraught and unbalanced individual caught up in something he not only doesn't understand, but cannot control. Jim's moving yet subtle performance as a disfigured and self conscious young man is totally convincing and elicits all the empathy this character warrants. First appears on screen, you just know that Jamie is a troubled soul.
