Format:DVD
The front cover of my dvd case says 'A dark wondrous poetic tale' and that's exactly what it is. I'm sure some film buff will correct me and tell us all that it's based on some long forgotten silent movie by a director we've never heard of but to me this seemed completely original and fulfilled its description of wondrous. The storyline is simple, whilst the world sleeps our dreams and nightmares are fought over by good and evil potrayed here by the Storytellers and the Incubi who inhabit an alternative world. One night a random character called 'Ink' kidnaps a small girl and takes her into this alternative world as a sacrifice to the Incubi so that he can be accepted by them. The story follows the Storyteller's efforts to rescue her and what is going on in the real world. The fact that this may be low budget never becomes apparent through its intelligent use of sets and effects. The film is presented in full screen and the soundtrack is moody and significant. This film may never get a box office release and I suspect a lot of viewers wouldn't get it anyway. If you like a good story then buy it and see for yourself.

Usually I cannot be bothered to write reviews about the films I have bought but in this case I just had to. I had seen bits downloaded from the internet but I liked what I saw so much and wanted to support the film makers that I bought the DVD off Amazon. Now how often does that happen today? Rather than the usual formulaic tripe produced by Hollywood where you feel ripped off for paying to see a rehash of something you have already seen, here is a film which you can watch for free but after seeing it you WANT to pay for it. Yes it does have some limitations in special effects but these do not detract from the feel and cinematography of the film. Yes it has similarities in concept to other films but the story telling (apologies, no in-joke intended) disguises any feeling of deja vu and makes the whole film enjoyable. It is nice to feel after watching a film that it has personally touched you on an intellectual and emotional level and that is how I felt after watching Ink. It is a real shame it didn't get a cinematic release but if you want to watch a film which has a little more to offer than a Hollywood "blockbuster" then this is it. If you liked Dark City or Pan's Labyrinth I think you will enjoy this, I look forward to watching it again.

It's almost a tragedy that this film hasn't had wider exposure to the general public, particularly in the UK. I only heard about it during a brief conversation with a mate I hadn't seen in a while. We were talking movies at some point and he mentioned that this was the best film he had seen in ages. I was a little sceptical of his claims at first, when I couldn't find it in any local stores here in the UK and no one I spoke to had heard of it either. If it was that good, how come it was so difficult to get hold of and why had nobody heard of it ? I eventually had to import it from the US. What a shame too, because this film deserves to have been very successful. It's no big budget hollywood offering but don't let that fool you. What these guys have done on a very modest budget blows many more expensively made films away. This is a brilliantly imagined, very dark and complex tale, that centres around the conflict between a high flying businessman's job demands and the demands of his family, his seemingly ambivalent relationship with his wife and very young daughter. It evolves in a world that seems to oscillate between dream and reality, as certain forces of good and evil battle each other for this man's soul and ultimately his daughter's life. There are some highly emotional (read weepy) moments in this film as indeed there are some equally disturbing moments too. The acting is first rate and though you can clearly see at times where money has been saved, there are still some surprisingly good special effects. The Incubi are particularly unsettling to watch. A glorious surprise of a film and one I can see myself watching many times. What a pity most people won't ever know it existed.
