Film Reviews by NW

Ignore that other review. In no way is this film 'misandrist' you might as well say the same of Psycho or Taxi Driver.

Instead this a study of two very damaged people who descend into complete insanity.

Rebecca Hall plays the survivor of Tim Roth's character's abuse and what he did to her, explained in a seven-minute monologue to camera, is beyond horrendous.

Hall's descent into madness is painful, horrifying and sad to watch. Yes she is selfish and unpleasant. Because of what happened to her.

No spoilers, but there's something that gives Roth's character a hold over her and this develops into a somewhat predictable, extremely gory, and morbidly horrifying conclusion that many have taken literally, but is clearly the end result of Hall's insanity.

One of the most genuinely unsettling horror films I have ever seen and I have seen a lot!

This is an excellent and absorbing thriller, beautifully shot, well played and engrossing.

"Relentless edge-of-your-seat suspense, jaw-dropping, high-octane action" is absolutely what it is not!

I don't know how anyone seeing this film could come up with that description. There is action, and it is very well done, and there is suspense, also well done. But don't expect Mad Max or something.

That said I would recommend this - just ignore that review!
