The film is set in London, although the story sees only a pinch of the city and is plotted inside a tatty London flat.
It's a psychological paranormal film, are the characters going mad or is there something supernatural at force? Sarah comes from a strict RC mother and knows her religious passages, although, she's not a firm follower herself. She has her beliefs tested throughout this film, with a glimpse of possibility that she could fall for the insanely ranting Declan.
Basically, 2 Uni student girls, go out on a whim to visit one of their 'love interest's', which turns out to be a 1 night stand that her friend can not get over and has to pursue. Evidently, this guy feels the same way, the big issue with this, is that he is her lecturer at Uni (doh!). Only, they get an evening that they were not bargaining for!
Upon entering her love interest's flat, they find 2 other people, a Gothic bi-polar American lass and a deluded ranting crippled brit. All 3 are on a mission to hack the vatican's archives, in the hopes that they can find the elusive 'Torah' in a 3rd dimension, meaning that they may be able to crack the most sort after code, in centuries.
During this time, you do get to see declan becoming more deluded, schizophrenic could be a term for him. Breaking into the vatican record, for him, is life changing and not in a good way.
The film never expanded on the 'supernatural attack', just words like 'CIA's remote viewers' and 'Vatican ghosts' were usually flung about.
A super natural low budget thriller that would have justified it's self better, if the plot wasn't so scatty and lacking.
Saving grace of this film................quality cast.
Not a bad film but by means,it's no 'Da Vinci' code!

good for low budget
Time to unleash the beast
Zoe (Lucy Evans) visits her instructor Malcolm (David Horton) who she had a one night stand with in hopes of turning it into something more. She takes along her BFF Sarah (Kelly Adams) who has her back. Hot Asian chick Kendra (Calita Rainford) answers the door but she was/is with Declan (Jonathan Rhodes) a genius in a wheelchair. They are professional hackers who believe they can predict all events of the future if they have access to the original Old Testament with the original words and tablets. So they hack into the Vatican computer to obtain this information which triggers a strange series of events...not Buckaroo Banzai strange because this is only 7 dimensions with a smaller budget.
The action takes place in one flat and mostly one room. The special effects and story line was hampered by the budget. The actors did a heck of a job to maintain my interest. I managed to catch a few and comprehend a little of the scientific jargon, and the rest, like bible codes, I play the skeptic. The production touches on fate and the paradox of prophecy.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Unwatchable rubbish
Poor script, poor acting, poor filming and went downhill from there. Avoid if youi can.
