Impressions:
This movie caught my interest when I first saw the trailer for it and I've been looking for the opportunity to see it for some time. I don't think the trailer I saw revealed the key element of Iggy's ability to bring out the evil in people, the sort of impulses and ideas you normally suppress. I found it highly entertaining watching everyone's inner darkness laid bare. I saw the twist coming early on but the way it unravels over the course of the film is well done. The more ambitious special effects look about TV grade, but I don't imagine they had that big of a budget and I've definitely seen worse. Anyway, all told I found this to be a clever and interesting movie and recommend giving it a watch.
