Headspace (2005)

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

At some point I have got to stop watching these pseudo-horror movies with low ratings on IMDb. But I doubt it will happen, because there is just something alluring about these particular movies. Perhaps it is because they are so campy and cheesy that they might actually be good."Headspace" wasn't one of those movies. It was just plain downright bad. Not even cheesy enough to be funny to watch.I managed to sit through a whopping 35 minutes of this movie, which can best be described as pure pointlessness, before I simply gave up out of frustration with how boring and uneventful the movie was.The storyline was rather incoherent and made very, very little sense in any way. As such, it was quite an ordeal to sit through even just the 35 minutes that I managed to muster. So hats off to those who actually see the movie through to the end. It was a particularly boring movie, because nothing, and I do literally mean nothing, happened.I was initially lured in by the movie's cover/poster and the fact that this was supposed to be a horror movie. The only thing scary about it was how uneventful and slow paced it was.The acting, at least from what I witnessed in the 35 minutes, was as to be expected from a movie such as this, so you can take it for better or worse. At least you know what you will be getting into.There is no chance of me returning to finish watching the rest of "Headspace", because the movie just never appealed to me in any way. And I can't claim to have any interest in the storyline whatsoever.

The finest performance Sean Young has given since Blade Runner highlights this truly amazing film and showcases some of her best work. The script is superb, the direction like lightning, and the suspense unrelenting. Young sets the tone for the entire film in the first few minutes and they are minutes no one who sees them will ever forget. Young is nothing less than dynamite and unfortunately the rest of the movie suffers a bit. However, an overall outstanding cast, a director working with a screenplay of unique eloquence and imagination all come together to make for one of the finest horror films of all time. An underrated masterpiece that deserved far more recognition.

I read mixed reviews on this film so didn't know what to expect.It did sound interesting when i read the description so i wanted to see it. What i can say is that the beginning was bad and made no sense.All you see is 2 boys,their father and demented mother who was without explanation acting weird and bleeding all over the place from her nose, making accusations of evil getting in the house and then attempted to kill them before being shot in the head.What the hell drove her insane?And how is a little boy responsible for bringing evil into their house? This was rushed and ridiculous.And then years past and the kid is grown up and thrown right in the middle of another weird storyline which again wasn't explored much or explained again.I guess he was really insane and was the one killing off everyone around him.As for the bull about him being able to see those B-rated looking demons or some supernatural ability to sense their presence and they didn't want other's to see them was lame and make's no sense.And how would he all of a sudden develop skills that no human being could ever possess from getting a headache. The biggest disappointment was that the 2 brother's were not reunited before the older one killed himself.They met by chance later on as adults not recognizing each other after being cruelly separated.It seemed like it was building up but never happened.What a disappointment and waste of continuity. I don't think the script was very well thought out.It had potential to be a way better movie if it was written better with more detail and in a more logical way.And what was with that useless sex scene.It did nothing for the film at all and was a waste of time.It completely changed the direction the film was going,but then the movie has no sense and is badly written.The ending was the worst thing about the movie.I found myself interested enough in it though and it's not by any means the worst film i've seen.It's one of the better b-horror movie's that i've seen. I thought the actors were fantastic and they all seemed to be having a lot of fun making the movie.The old colored guy and the gay Asian made me laugh so it had a bit of humor.Now here comes the part that is unfortunate.I watched the extended and deleted scenes and thought wow! How could this be cut out!I could not believe how much footage was left out.And I couldn't get over how important it seemed to the movie.There was a lot of hard work and very well acted scenes and detail that were deleted.What a shame since it would have only added and enhanced the movie.I preferred the alternate ending.It would have worked nice even if they extended the movie and used both endings. Now if only the DVD had a feature where we could chose the ending and add the deleted material to make it an extended version. I am curious why all of the deleted scenes were cut out since there was no commentary. I may watch the movie one more time before returning it to the video store to see if i see something g i missed the 1st time,but i'm sure it will still make absolutely no sense!

Where do I start...??? Very simply: Decent concept that could have been very intriguing EXCELLENT beginning to set the pace of the film I really like chess, so I thought that would be a neat added element to the film... GEEEEEEEEZ...TOTALLY disintegrates into an EXTREMELY poorly written, directed, and acted film. PERIOD.Very sad too; I REALLY, REALLY wish I had read more of the comments and especially the message board MUCH more carefully. Usually I do, but I musta REALLY screwed up on this one : ) I can excuse a film completely for being aimless and even pointless, ***IF*** it at least has style, mood, and is done with SOME bloody competence. It is SO dang funny how some of these film makers snag a bunch of these 'B' actors whom we'd immediately recognize and then they have a combined screen time of about 8 minutes. When will I learn... I felt sorry for Sean Young; she had all of, what..., 3 minutes. Sad...Anyway, by the end, if you have ANY vestige of intelligence left (which is bloody unlikely) this is one of those cases where you will TRULY be sitting there stunned wondering what the HELL you just did with the last 90 minutes or so...I'm serious here. Believe me on this one...I'm not normally hateful or unforgiving when it comes to film and Especially the 'Horror' genre, honestly. But this one fails on almost EVERY level.
