Sean Young, Larry Fessenden, Mark Margolis

25-year-old Alex Borden is handsome, charming, and intelligent. In fact, he may be too smart for his own good, as his life is swiftly becoming a living hell. Alex's nightmare begins when he meets Harr...( read more  read more... )y, a mysterious artist and chess-master. Alex becomes alarmed when his intellect mysteriously begins to grow, and so do the horrors that invade his nightmares, and soon his waking hours. Long-suppressed memories surface and Alex must face the terrors of his violent past, a vanished older brother, a father who abandoned both his sons, and a mother who was viciously murdered. The visions intensify and he begins to experience intense headaches that ultimately cause him to blackout. But it is only the beginning of Alex's calamity. Friends and neighbors are disappearing, and people are whispering rumors of a serial killer. Menaced from all sides by the forces of evil, Alex must overcome his past and contain his own deadly urges so he can hopefully discover what demons, both real and imagined, are stalking him.

    ingenius ideas about long haired bros being tormented by devils or demons and never being listened to. this film makes you feel isolated, unwanted and ineffective. just an average day then... watch it after a night on the rum and it'll be your friend in a narcissistic way

    Great development, poor pay-off. It had me until the end which falls into that oh-so-typical "surprise" ending.
  • April 8, 2007
    Very nice to see some original horror ideas getting toyed with. Good performance by the lead.
  • November 19, 2008
    Started out OK but went downhill very quickly and never recovered. A confusing mess that should probably be avoided unless you think you can make more sense out of it because I sure struggled.

    the woman is a monster in the end and its just stupid
  • May 18, 2008
    Ambitious, original and so boring that you'd rather hang yourself than watch it again.

    Any baby boomers who wander into Headspace might be forgiven their momentary panic as they are suddenly acid-flashed back to the psychedelic mediocrity of t...( read more)heir youth. Jethro Senger's attempt to capture the global mindset of ravers, largely through visual mimicry -- kaleidoscopes, anyone? -- is at best a mixed bag of old tricks.
  • May 13, 2008
    half "Small Wonder" half "The Sixth Sense". But not funny and not scary. A delusion.
  • November 17, 2007
    This movie had me drawn from the very beginning, only to completely let me down in the end. What the heck was the director thinking? I have no clue.
  • October 27, 2007
    Any movies with Sean Young (minus Stripes and the first Ace Ventura) should be avoided like nuclear waste.
  • October 2, 2007
    Hmm... Good acting, but incredibly disappointing. This movie never explained itself, which was really irritating to me. Or if it did then it didn't do a good job. Did he simply end up insane or were there actual monsters? Who knows. I wouldn't bother...
