Panacea (2009 Video) User Reviews

And I thought that aspirin was the universal panacea!

There's a sickness in the world and Conrad Turner plays the man that has suffered for years with the agony of a pain in the neck. His luck changes though when he accidentally falls through the doors of a bar and into another world. The barman just happens to be an achohologist - I like the idea of that - and can cure the man of all his evils and pains.

This is a quirky little short, made for nothing but having plenty of entertainment value. I really love the idea of a Man for No Reason... This made me laugh. I also like the sound track Spybeat by the Langhorns and Bring Me Sunshine from Morecambe and Wise - I think they should be down as on the soundtrack.

Very amusing and well acted.

I saw this by accident on an independent shorts site. I can't say the photography is amazing, but I can say the acting, the writing and the vibe is really good. No spoiler here - check it out - worth the few minutes.

Conrad Turner has a look and a talent and have no idea why he never got a shot. Martin Hobbs as the Barman is a little wooden, but it kind of works. The director/writer has a way and it would be interesting to see what he would do with a bigger budget. I have seen the Call of the Hunter trailer and am going to risk buying a copy of the DVD - because - I fancy a look.

Check out Biker chick - my type yummy!
