**Some people never let go your hand!** We ask for the fresh ideas and here is the one. This British film was not totally innovative, at least it tried to be different. This horror-comedy was directed by two brothers and it was theirs first feature film. This is the story of two who meet working in a supermarket. The 19 years old Holly and in his 20s, Rob, they instantly fall in love with their first encounter. But there's a problem that they can't sleep together, if they do, then Rob's dead girlfriend appear. So the reason for it and the solution if there is one, is what the rest of the film covers. It was a little slow, though entertaining. Not a bad storyline, they developed it decently, but the twist was so ordinary. Nothing like we could predict it, but it gives a silly reason. If you are not expecting big, then it might work. The performances were not bad. It's not that funny, because it was a black comedy. Though the story takes place in the open society, the focus has been always between three main cast and a couple of others. That mean it comes to the point, not wasting for useless scenes. That's why it's very interesting, despite not very impressive. Like I said worth a watch for being a different from the usual films. _6/10_

We start at the scene of a nasty road accident where a fatality is bound to be on the cards. Meantime, "Holly" (Abigail Hardingham) is splitting up with her boyfriend "David" (Javan Hirst). She works in a supermarket and that's where she encounters "Rob" (Cian Barry) and we've sort of come full circle. His long-term girlfriend "Nina" (Fiona O'Shaughnessy) was the victim of the crash. It doesn't take them long before they get down to some furious jogging but in flagrante delicto, guess who appears? Yep - it's the ex herself. Spooky, eh? Blood is soon everywhere which "Holly" can also see - so no wonder she scarpers. "Rob" has to clean up all this mess and find himself a never ending supply of sheets (and possibly a new laundrette) because this shock doesn't dampen the ardour for long. Pretty soon they have even bought red sheets! Clearly there is some sort of rift in the space-time continuum, as "Nina" becomes more mischievous - but how can the couple be rid of her? For about half an hour this is quite darkly funny, indeed the threat of ethereal interference starts to serve as a turn on, but as the story develops that concept becomes a little too oft recycled and the characters rely just a little too much on getting their kits off. We also have a bit of family melodrama with his ex in-laws and the film starts to come off the rails. The writing and directing Blaine brothers have had a spark of an entertaining and quirky idea here, they just can't really stop it from running too far into the realms of silly farce. Still, it is worth a watch and the actors look like they were enjoying themselves - but it does disappoint.
