This is a home invasion horror story with a main cast of three characters. There are some truly lovely misty locations, all nicely filmed and directed. The story is a bit slow, but enlivened by some witty dialogue, particularly from Aidan O’Neil as Karl, an un-PC social worker assigned to visit David, a recluse who has recently been discharged from a mental institution.
I enjoyed this independent production. It’s well directed and co-written by Mike Dunkin and sells a good atmosphere of isolation and fear. There’s a twist at the end; twists are tricky things – get them wrong and the whole film tumbles down like a house of cards. Here, though, I found the revelations to be satisfying, but in a tone consistent with the rest of the story. My score is 8 out of 10.
