- TriviaIntroductory title card taken from the writings of Neil Willoughby, Richard's father:
JACK; on our land, engraved his name, Dandelion, Devil, one and the same, Made end by townsfolk, he was cast'd away, Into the thick of hellish fray,
Jack grew restless in cold abyss, And begged the gods to him dismiss. How we long for that forced bloom, Of spring, of nature's womb,
Jack, spirit of the fern, We call thee now to return, With any visage, any name, Come; to play thy game.
'The Dandelion' by Neil Willoughby

Featured review
In my opinion a 5.3 score for this film is a very harsh score. Yes it's not a fast paced Hollywood slasher horror movie, it's a slow paced moving film. The beautiful setting in the English countryside, the century old house, the green hills, it all contributes to the weight of the story. The cast is doing an excellent job in conveying the really deep twisted message the director is trying to tell. But most of all, what really took me by surprise, was the sheer originality of the story. Fair to say by the end my jaw was on the floor, with the brutal ending and the realization of what had just happend.
