  • An escalating atmosphere of dread

    While there are only one or two actual scares in this film, it does a great job of building an increasing atmosphere of dread. There are also some pretty grotesque scenes.

    Storywise, this concerns a PTSD-afflicted soldier who had been part of some overseas conflict (apparently Eastern European) and is now in London living with other refugees. After their accommodation gets burned down, a nun finds him free housing with a young woman (also apparently Eastern European) on the condition that he helps repair her dilapidated house. However, from the outset not all seems right. The young girl's mother (unseen) is apparently dying, in pain, in the upstairs room. But why all the secrecy about her? And what is the strange runic symbol that he finds in the ceiling. What is the meaning of the night-time flashbacks that he has to his time as a soldier?

    Although I'm not sure that the story entirely holds up in terms of logic, it nonetheless kept me spellbound for the duration.

    I must say, some of the comments left here by others are baffling to me. Reading not too far between the lines of some of them, it seems that some people don't seem to appreciate a horror story told from the perspective of a female writer and director, or that the lead characters are not English. Well, so much the worse for those viewers. As for being slow - if this hour-and-a-half of effective horror is a strain on your patience, then I wouldn't bother going to see pretty much anything else that is out right now, many of which stretch their stories over two-and-a-half to three hours (Memoria, anyone?).

  • A wild ride

    This was one of the most all-out fun films I've seen in a while. It pulls off the neat trick of being both scary and hilarious. The central character, Annie, is an obnoxious - yet somehow loveable - vlogger and the film is shown from the perspective of her livestreaming camera, together with the comments of her audience. An anti-masker conspiracy theorist, she escapes the 'oppression' of Los Angeles during the pandemic and travels to London to stay with an old friend, 'Stretch', and his girlfriend. Within hours, she steals his car during an argument, gives a lift to a frail little old black woman, and from thereon in all hell breaks loose. This little old woman turns out to be not at all what she seems. That's as much as I want to say. There is a coherent story underlying events, but the story barely really matters; this film is essentially a thrill ride and it's best to just sit back and enjoy it.
