Standout Aspects

Acting

Northam's slow unravel from smug developer to cult pawn.

Direction

Poliakoff builds dread through polite British restraint.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you suspect your neighbors are too friendly.·Streaming: It's buried on some free tier for a reason, but worth the dig.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Cult seduction scenes blur coercion and consent deliberately.·Drug Use: Heavy psychedelic use as manipulation tool, not recreation.

Trivia

Made for BBC television but pulled from schedules after initial broadcast—too weird even for 1998 British TV, apparently.

Cultural

Poliakoff was obsessed with hidden London subcultures; this is his most cynical take on 'alternative' communities as just another property scam.
