Flowerman

If you have seen the Lovely Bones this may remind you of it. It told the story of a spiritually pure and ideal family and their encounter with disturbing events that seemed to tear them apart. This was an unusual quality. It was simple but also sophisticated. It was certainly disturbing. It achieved this without horror – as in The Lovely Bones. It was because of this quality that the disturbing nature it makes and impression and the creepy quality of it was as good as any I have seen. One thing that it does is keep you guessing. The story is not predictable, far from it. It was well written, well directed and well acted and low budget. Don't let this fool you though. It does not have the cringe factor that can sometimes infect a low budget film. I think it is the sort of film that you will want to watch twice and be prepared to sleep with the light on!

I cannot rate this movie highly enough. It is one of those hidden gems that you come across on a dark night before bed. The relationship between the two main characters, Nigel and Sarah, is so dark, creepy and sinister that is seemed wrong to enjoy it. And the creepy character of Nigel Simmonds, he belongs up there alongside Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates. And the actor who plays Nigel, Jason Savin, his performance is superb. Did he win any awards for this movie? Within the film is some delicious dialogue. It is so delightful. As soon as I had watched it I had to tell all my friends to watch it as well. We sometimes quote the dialogue to each other when we meet up. This movie is well written, well filmed and well acted - an absolute gem!

I'm still in shock at what I just sat through.... I have no idea what the previous reviewers watched, but it couldn't have been this.

This film was dire in all departments - acting, production, story, script- you name it, this failed at it.

The story was ridiculous to the extreme, especially the way the husband just carries on with life (with his mistress). There was zero talent in the acting department and the extreme low budget meant that the whole thing looked and sounded like a straight to TV 1970s 'thriller'.

Honestly, this ranks up there with 'birdemic', please don't waste your valuable time with this, you will regret it. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

If you like movies with a solid plot and interesting characters that the filmmakers take time to develop, you should probably give this movie a watch. Unlike a lot of movies today, they take their time to form a plot and create real characters that you have feelings about and can relate to. This is lacking in so many movies made today that don't make an investment in their story and characters like this one does. There are also twists in the different perspectives they decide to explore. This isn't a one dimensional movie. What it is, is a really a fresh thriller. One that doesn't take the normal routes you've come to expect. Creepy and dark! This movie packs a good punch!

In this twisted thriller, we follow Sarah, happily married with two children. Everything changes when the psychopath Nigel abducts the loving wife, manipulating reality so brilliantly that the couple starts doubting each other. While the movie progresses twists and turns follow, leaving you at the edge of your seat. Everybody can rely to the wish of having a secure and loving family at home, which makes Flowerman so intense when we explore the creepiness and darkness of Sarah's and Nigel's relationship. Rob Burrows managed to create a dense plot. The actors pull it off just great. If you like thrillers and sinister antagonists, you should definitely give Flowerman a go.
