Set in a very different London is writer-director Hadi Hajaig's Puritan, a bizarre mixture of film noir and occult horror flick. Nick Moran plays Simon Puritan (the name suggests Simon 'The Saint' Templar), a sad alcoholic student of the paranormal who lives in Whitechapel in an early-18th-century house designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor where Aleister Crowley once raised the spirit of Satan. This sad hero believes in the existence of a fourth dimension and appears to be drifting through time and space as he encounters a femme fatale, a sinister capitalist (David Soul), Crowley and the devil himself. The movie might have been directed by someone called Midnight Charlatan or Goodnight Chameleon, but there are hints of real talent and style behind this addled piece.

Sounds promising! I wonder what happened to Revolt of the Magicians, though? The web site is half broken, and hasn't been updated in quite a while. I even tried writing Dominion Entertainment Group to ask what their plans are, but the email was returned because "there's no mailbox by that name". I'm guessing that this movie won't be happening. A shame, really.
