Excellent sci-fi movie with film noir trappings.
Rufus Sewell awakens one morning to discover a woman's body in the room with him.
At the same time, sinister strangers with bald heads and top hats are floating through the town. Additionally, the city seems to be changing configuration every night, and no-one can quite remember where Shell Beach is....
Spooky, sinister and visually striking, with the added bonus of Richard O'Brien on top form, this is a cult classic.
Top notch sci-fi paranoia.
