Format:VHS Tape
Based on fact apparently, this stylish and bleak film takes a close look at a dysfunctional modern day American family, struggling to stay happy and indeed safe. Their problems are heightened when the mother begins having what seems to be panic attacks and strange turns for the worst. However, it transpires that she has contracted the rare, but on the increase, disease that is 20th Century illness. A disease that can affect the host at any time, and could be almost anything made of any substance. And so Julianne moore gets moved at great expense to her social circle and family life to a bleak American desert, where she is confined to a strange igloo-like dome, detached from society and her friends and family.
To call this film bleak is a massive understatement and if you are looking for fun then this is potentially the worst film of all time to hire after Dancer in the dark, but it is very well shot in places and has a chilling sense of absence and detraction running throughout. Moore is fantastic, and watching the family degenerate is horrible yet fascinating. Well worth a watch if you can sit through it.

OK I saw this at its London Premier, so that may have skewed my view a bit, but this is a worthwhile and engrossing film. No it not plot driven and there is precious little sex of violence for those who want such things. But this tale of a woman developing a total allergy to the modern world is a film that will stay in your mind a long time if you are willing to give it a chance.

Review of the 'Prism' DVD. Known or releasing films cheaply on DVD but gee do you suffer for it. The print is very soft and fuzzy, there's a number of scratches and film burns. The sound is noisy too with a lot of hiss. The film itself is great with a fantastic performance by Julianne Moore.

An anthem for hypochondriacs everywhere
My beloved gran once told me that if one can't think of anything positive to say, one should say nothing at all. So this could be the shortest review ever! Read more

I rented this as I quite like Julianne Moore but you've certainly got to be dedicated to sit through this! Read more

Rather boring
I am trying so hard to finish this film. I just cannot get into it. It is rather boring. When I reach the end (if I ever do) I will let you all know!
