Rent The Factory (2014)

Highly original horror! - The Factory review by NP

It's very difficult to find a horror film that dares to do something different. As a sometimes jaded genre fan, I found this Steven Judd film refreshingly new in its approach. Low budget it may be, but there's a fascinating mix of styles on display here, with even the line between thriller and comedy sometimes blurred - but be assured, this is no laughing matter.

An odd mismatch of characters - including a seedy bus driver, a pouting angry goth, a health fanatic, two gum-chewing teen girl temptresses, and Simon (Damien Puckler) who seems earmarked to be a hero figure of sorts. The situations they find themselves in are every bit as extreme and idiosyncratic as they are.

I enjoyed this very much. The film begins in a certain way, lurches in another direction, and then becomes something else entirely. Such savage unpredictability is rare and dangerous - and well worth seeing.
