Over the Edge (2011)
Jason (Danny Bedford) is in a crisis. He won’t go to work and stays holed up in his flat. But when his TV breaks, he is forced to call co-worker Richard (Sean Hart) to fix it. All is normal, except when Jason mentions that a friend of his may be dead in his bed. Instead of hightailing it out of the potential murder scene, Richard (who has the hots for Jason) instead not only checks the body (yes, dead) but also proposes a homemade autopsy. And when the scalpel cuts the flesh, these two young men are now in it together. But it is not just one body, a serial killer is roaming London’s streets, but the bodies seem to all end up in Jason’s flat.

Undescribable Perfection
Overrated and overhyped
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
I almost liked this movie, I didn't dislike but I wanted less and more. I got the symbolism, the different flashes of an alternate point of view. What I didn't get was the whole serial killer thing. I'm not sure why it was in the movie. I think this would have been a wonderful sweet love story with the odd serial killer subplot. Something that totally went over my head was the mustaches? They were partially grown and looked to have been filled in with an eyebrow pencil but they were both extra long on one side? I can only suspect that was some kind of symbolism that went over my head or an inept makeup job? At first I thought the mustaches were a symbol of the passage of time but no actual time passed, one minute they weren't there and the next they were. Some of the acting was good some of it like the crazy neighbor lady was chaotic. Lastly I was seriously hoping for a bit of nudity but not even bare bum. That left me quite disappointed. Would I recommend it? If you have time to kill and can't find anything else to watch it has it's moments.
I rented this film, thank God I didn't purchase it as I would want a refund. It is filmed very amateurishly, the script is dire & the plot beggars belief.There is a serial killer on the loose. Richard comes round to Jason's flat to fix up his DVD player & when he gets there he learns that there is a dead body in Jason's bed, but Richard isn't alarmed because he is too busy making goo goo eyes at Jason. But is Jason really the killer?This film had such potential, but when it becomes clear quite quickly that it appears to be more like a spoof than anything else, I soon lost interest. There are some deleted scenes on the DVD with introductions from the director who was clearly deluded, he speaks as if he was making a masterpiece.I would have given the film 1 star but I quite liked the charisma of Danny Bedford's performance.
