Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The difference that becomes apparent when illumination is added to a scene is one that is palpable and welcome, for there is nothing worse than your imagination finding solace in the dark where scurrying creatures can lay eggs of doubt, confusion and inner torment; the form of mental torture that comes from standing in a dark room and not being able to find the light is profoundly fearsome, demonstrably emotional striking, and when you know the light will lift the mood, even if it shows the horrors under a more cynical glare.
