If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

At first I thought this film was too bonkers even for me as the beginning was not easy to follow. However I persisted and the story fell into place. I eventually got into it and by the end loved it to bits. Whoever made this film should be very proud.I found the atmosphere a bit Jonathan Creek/ Dr Who / Amelie like, for example mysterious/fantasy/comic and even romantic. I thought it was beautifully filmed and brilliantly acted. I don't know how to describe the plot a couple of oddballs solving mysteries and finding themselves? It is set in modern day England but with some old fashioned twists. If you like unusual quirky films give this one a go.

Bickering best friends Davies (Ed Gaughan) and Beckett (Andrew Buckley) make a living from psychically uncovering the skeletons in people's closets. Metaphorical skeletons, but real closets. As the intense Davies nears a nostalgic meltdown, his amiable, lumbering companion yearns for a normal existence, and their boss (a gruff, northern Jason Isaacs, in a flat cap) eyes them for promotion, they're pitched into the trickiest case of their career. The film starts off in a precise, literate comic manner, with hilarious scenes of obscure bureaucracy and awkward revelations, then gets stranger and stranger as it progresses. Though the whydunit isn't terribly mysterious, the film's frequent dips into the world of weird - dizzying diversions that drop the characters into one another's dreams and reminiscences - are satisfyingly original, the largely unknown cast is excellent and the film never forgets to be funny. "Going Bulgarian" must be my favourite comic invention of the decade so far.

This beautifully unique and idiosyncratic film reminded me of a low-budget Brit version of "Inception", dispensing with the grandiose score, the overblown special effects, the derivative gun fights and car chases and the constant exposition to just strip it down to two guys in suits with briefcases walking around the British countryside and dealing with the same themes of dreams, memory, loyalty and loss. Totally original, it makes no concessions, doesn't explain anything (not, for instance, grinding to a halt every 20 minutes to explain/contradict the plot like, you know, some other film I could mention). You just have to go with it, accept its bizarre internal logic and not over-think things. Nonetheless, one of the most memorable and intriguing films I've seen for a while, with a great cast. Standout for me was Paprika Steen who I thought was SENSATIONAL: earthy, mature and downright sexy. It's a damning indictment of the entertainment industry that she's not better know. Mind you, I could say the same of this film. Be brave: give it a go and surrender to its skewed and surreal charms, because it has charm and imagination a-plenty.

It starts off a bit loose - and as a viewer you are unsure as to how this film will develop. But you get involved in it soon enough. About half way through the film is when things start to pick up because at this point, you are certain of the key plot points. I mean, not everyone is as slow on the uptake as myself - but hey! There is a clever twist towards the later sections of the film (but I won't give too much away.I am just completely baffled by the ability of some people to come up with plot lines such as that! It is anything but shallow and has everything a good realist-fantasy film needs. I love the idea that the two or three men in the film try to make this abnormal occurrence into a plain and boring business. The level of comedy in this film is subtle, regular and does not distract from the film at all.Directing = All Round Excellent!
