Homegrown Mystics just a little too Oirish

Mystics

Director: David Blair

Cast: David Kelly, Milo O'Shea, Liam Cunningham, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Stanley Townsend, Doreen Keogh

Cert: 15.

In what has been an interesting year for homemade films, Mystics stands, alas, at the foot of the table, deep in the relegation zone.

It is a weak tale full of stereotypical Oirish characters up to the usual Oirish twinkly scams, all highly unlikely and utterly disappointing.

O'Shea and Kelly play a couple of former music hall performers whose scam involves their posing as mediums in order to extract money from those left behind by staging fake seances.

Ho-hum!

Enter, then, a collection of stock characters caught up in the project, none of whom turn out to be even mildly interesting since the script is so ill-constructed that it hardly exists in any visible form.

Star Rating: 1/5
