Product Description
Following a wild party, five friends are evicted from their student digs and are forced to seek refuge in an abandoned halls of residence in central London.
They soon sense they're not alone and recall the story of a ritual group suicide that occurred in that same building a few years before.
When they conduct a seance to uncover the reason behind the suicides, the answer comes not from the ghosts of dead students, but from the terrifying entity that drove them to their deaths.

Format:DVD
A low-budget Brit horror that is very much played by numbers. The first half of the film is mind numbingly boring. And as with a lot of other low-budget horrors, loud music is used to try and scare. I almost switched it off. But I'm very much glad I stuck with it. Because it came as a nice surprise to me when I was caught out by the twist ending. The acting was pretty decent; MyAnna Buring stands out the most and I look forward to seeing a lot more of her in the future.

Five theology students plan to take part in an occult ritual in their halls of accomodation, to prove the existance of the devil. One backs out after the ritual has begun, breaking the circle of protection. The next morning his four friends are all dead. Some years later, a group of students evicted from the house that they share, find themselves a nice place to stay as a stop gap. Yes, its the very same halls of residence, now derelict and boarded up. Then strange things start to happen...
This film superficially resembles another modern Brit Horror, Long Time Dead. As the film progresses however it comes across more like a British version of the superb American chiller Session 9.
The film eschews gore and elaborate set pieces, instead favouring a gradual build up of mounting dread, and it postively drips with atmosphere. The creepy interior of the building takes on a life of its own, and the young cast all equip themselves admirably. Its not that scary, but it should leave you with a little tingle down the spine, especially after the ending, which made me question everything I had seen up to then.
It even comes complete with a Lesbian shower scene. Okay, thats a bit of a fib, but if it makes one extra person delve into this superb film, then I'm glad I told it.
A terrific film, destined to become a minor classic in the future. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5

Those of you who love gore and heart-stopping frights won't be that impressed with this film, nor will anyone who chose it purely because of Stephen Gately.
However, if you are looking for a milder scare and a great twist, search no further. Credo is an enjoyable film that lets your imagination do most of the scaring. Those nervous individuals, who don't like to be spooked, will find this a compromise, halfway between "The Exorcist" and "Bob the Builder", which will allow them to say they've seen a horror movie, without spending the next six weeks in rehab.
The acting was surprisingly good, with likeable, hateable and fanciable characters if you are of that age. Myanna Buring was good as the lead actress, with one confusing "wooden" bit of acting that becomes clear later. Nathalie Pownall was extremely good, although why her character had to be a lesbian never became clear and the toilet scene left me non-plussed; however, Nathalie was in no way to blame for the strange directions.
The scenario was a bit of a cliché but the actors managed to create believable characters who were reluctant to enter the derelict college, but desperate enough to put up with it temporarily.
The ending was surprisingly unpredictable. Once you've watched it once, you'll want to watch it again. It gets better the more you watch it.

Low-key but effective psychological horror
As average horror films go, this is a pretty decent one. Unfortunately, its title and plot summary do it no favors. Read more

This is totally disappionting. Anyone hoping to see some fine acting from Stephen Gately will not do so, as he appears to be in it for a very short time. Read more
