Garden of Hedon

It is metaphorically speaking anyway. Because the movie plays inside a house ... a big house. Actually the idea is pretty neat - and it has some interesting twists and ideas. Unfortunately a lot of things are not done in a really good way. I know that when I sometimes tell people that a movie looks really good visually, they say something along the lines of "well every movie looks good nowadays". While this was made over a decade ago, I would still include it into the "nowadays" section. And while it isn't too bad looking, you can tell there was not a big budget when it comes to the set/location and the overall production design. Add to that some mediocre acting (if you are being nice) and you have something that most people will not really be into.

Also because I am seeing that poster or picture that is being used to promote the movie. Do not buy into that. It displays things ... bigger and better than you may encounter in the movie itself. Of course that should not make a difference anyway - though Kudos for playing the sex appeal card here. And there are some good looking people in this - they are not playing a major role though. The detective is almost left alone to solve the mystery ... and he is obsessed with it. That may be one of the saving graces of the movie - if you'll excuse the pun.
