Product Description

At the end of a long, dirt road, in a secluded Victorian House, lives Lila, Jennifer Nichol Porter, an agoraphobic poet suffering from writer s block. Lila s hard-working husband, Samuel, (Eric Schweig), is vaguely aware of the demons that haunt his troubled wife, and does his best to support her. One morning, while Lila is trying desperately to write, she goes to investigate a noise on her front porch and meets a charming and strangely familiar fellow riding a penny-farthing Mr. Barrington, (Brian McCardie), captivates Lila more and more in his increasingly ghostly visits, and under his enigmatic spell, she begins to deteriorate mentally and physically. Alarmed by Lila s degeneration, Samuel returns to a cloistered convent/orphanage where Lila grew up; a dreary place that has, for the past ten years has hidden secrets belonging to both of them. With Lila weakening, Barrington grows stronger, and his genial manner soon fades into petulant, menacing obsession as he demands that Lila acknowledge who he is and resolves to make her pay for what she has done to him, thrusting her into a terrifying fight for her life.


Synopsis

Filmed in rural Maine, MR. BARRINGTON is a dramatic thriller. The film mainly concerns itself with the relationship between a mentally unstable housewife, Lila, her husband, and Lila's troubled past, memories of which haunt them both.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mr Barrington is back!, 3 Feb 2009
By J. Culbert "Sky Bird" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Creepy movie! Hard to make complete sense if it until the end - but worth staying with it... Very surreal... the wife - Lila (Porter) is suffering an episode of psychological trauma - related to unresolved childood conflict/trauma. It's a terrifying, and frustrating battle for her sanity - played out between the chief protagonists Lila and 'Mr Barrington'(McCardle). To say more would give the game away!!

Her husband Samuel (Schweig) tries to connect, but feels, and is, effectively 'locked out', as she is increasingly overwhelmed by her 'demons' in this living nightmare. Porter plays the part of the lost child/woman believably - though sometimes you just want to give her a good shake!!

Schweig portrays an increasingly marginalised and lonely figure, caring -and ever patient - but feeling evermore helpless as his 'normal life' disintegrates around him. Just once, he gives visible vent to his frustrations - by taking a plate - and hurling it on to kitchen floor. Finally he is forced to revisit Lila's past in order to try to make some sense of their present.

Most of the action takes place in their surreally isolated home - which adds to atmosphere, but can become tedious over the duration. However - make your own minds up!!
