The first thing that really stands out for me about this over the Storyland videos already featured on the Lunchtime watchalong is the production value. Psych Ward have really put the money on screen and no doubt pulled in a few favours to do it. In the context of Storyland it looks great and it can stand up beside a lot of TV drama shows that, for sure, have bigger budgets. It's well shot, well cut, well directed, well produced, and the cast are really credible. Good job everyone.
Is the story any good? Am I coming back for more? I'm not totally convinced. In a way it played out a little like a short film, with a surprise ending. I can walk away at this point and be satisfied, I'm not really dying to find out what happens Danny, the choice he made seemed pretty much out of his hands so for me I'm happy enough if his story ends there, I am interested in what happened the psychopath though.....

I didn't vote for this either but that's only because you are only allowed vote a number one choice, it's definitely in my top six and I hope to see it go through.

I think this is pretty poor, hope it doesn't get any further, yawn-fest. Like I said elsewhere, could have done with some research and credible acting. Film work is all over the shop.
