| A small and scary gem (by glennondaniel) |
| I caught this little gem at FrightFest and absolutely loved it, one of the absolute highlights of the festival.Working on what was apparently a limited budget, director Lawrence Gough and his team have done a tremendous job delivering a well acted and shot little suspenser that firmly places strong characterisations and performances ahead of cheap shocks. That said, it does deliver its fair share of scares and is almost unbearably tense in places.I don't want to say anything about the plot as you will enjoy the film more going in with little prior knowledge. Suffice to say, the script <more> |
| Small but perfectly formed or nicely nasty! (by MikeZonk) |
| A great addition to the flavour-du-jour domestic danger sub-genre cf. Right At Your Door, The Strangers, Ils as a small Scouse that's Liverpool, non-UKers neighbourhood finds themselves besieged by a mysterious murderous malcontent.

The limited setting - most of the action takes place in a cul de sac - adds to the claustrophobic feeling. And the gore when it comes has the claret flowing with gusto and looks pretty convincing.I did struggle a couple of times to understand the dialogue - a combination of muffled voices and regional accents - and although on <more> |
| Small little thriller (by kosmasp) |
| I watched this one at the Fright Fest in London and after the screening was over the director came "on stage" it was a small screen, there wasn't actually a stage and was apologizing for the small budget he had and some minor flaws in the movie. I don't think it was necessary to do that, but it made him even more sympathetic. Not having much money, but making a movie like that? Priceless to quote a very popular ad ! The low budget is very apparent on screen even a relatively small one , but what really works here, is the script and the actors. All that mixed together <more> |
