Mile End

An unsettling thriller with some genuinely scary moments that I didn't see coming and had me jumping out of my seat! The acting was excellent, the hero a totally believable ordinary bloke of the sort you might work with or live next to, placed in a sinister situation which again, you could imagine yourself being drawn into unwittingly. The film develops an atmosphere of creepiness, claustrophobia and menacing psychological dysfunction which is enhanced by contrasting expansive views of the London's riverside, where which much of the action is set. Mark Arnold as John is really scary and threatening- he'd make a very good Bond villain! There are some surprising twists and a really satisfying ending.

It is nice to sit down and watch a film that incorporates the elements of superb writing, a haunting soundtrack and brilliant acting to keep you riveted to the screen. There are no gimmicks or high-end effects but instead the seamless coming together of scenes that build into a slow-burn thriller beautifully set against the backdrop of East London. Both main actors do a wonderful job portraying their characters and John is downright creepy leaving viewers thinking about him - and the ambiguous ending - long after the film credits have rolled. I will definitely watch for more releases from writer and director Graham Higgins!

It's a while since I've been genuinely startled during a film - but this gripping thriller did just that. The two lead characters are beautifully drawn, and I found the development of their relationship engrossing. The complex and sinister story line keeps you engaged and guessing well beyond the end of the film. We were still discussing various plot conundrums long after we arrived home.

Beautifully shot in East London, this independent film was made on a shoe-string budget, but looks like a million dollars! I'm not surprised it was nominated for Best Feature at the Raindance Film Festival. Highly recommended.

Chanced upon this and loved it! Beautiful,beguiling and unusual.A slow-burning psychological thriller with imagination that draws you in and ramps up the tension in the second half. All the actors give fine performances. Not heard of this Director before, but look forward to his next offering.

Superb music, excellent photography. Unlikeable characters, drags on way too long and goes nowhere. The script is poor. The American guy is a good actor, as is the main guy. Everyone else is terrible. Try it!
