Jamie Morgan (Sturgess), a lonely young man with a heart-shaped birthmark on his face, discovers demons on the streets of London. When tragedy strikes, he becomes determined to take vengeance
Philip Ridley is gradually carving out a niche for offbeat, original and flawed dark fantasy. His previous works, The Reflecting Skin and The Passion of Darkly Noon, used horror to explore themes of incest, madness and religion, and Heartless is another mix of horrific fantasy and equally horrific reality.
Like Eden Lake and Harry Brown, Heartless explores fears about a broken society feral youths, random acts of violence, urban degradation. As crime rates in East London spiral out of control, Jamie (an impressive pain-etched performance from Sturgess) is touched by tragedy and makes a shocking discovery: the hoodies that stalk the streets are actually demons
It may have echoes of underwhelming ITV series Demons, but Ridley's movie is a far bleaker, more adult affair. The story develops along on laudably unpredictable lines, as the diffident Jamie meets the quietly sinister Weapons Man' (a deadpan Eddie Marsan) and makes a Faustian pact with demon overlord Papa B (an overly restrained Joseph Mawle).
Heartless has plenty of terrific ideas but the jumbled elements never quite hold together, and at times it feels as if Ridley is making up the entire thing as he goes along. It also lacks the nightmarish sense of strangeness and morbid wit of Clive Barker's dark fantasies (an obvious influence). There's a brilliant sequence in which Jamie brings a male prostitute back to his flat with consequences that lurch from darkly funny to deeply disturbing, but for the most part Heartless isn't twisted enough to satisfy horror fans and is too pulpy for the Brit arthouse crowd.
