Good story, Not enough for a whole film
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Superb raw slice of urban banality. Great to see Martin Compton in an obscure little number like this - of course he has recently been in the spotlight as part of the popular BBC series Line of Duty. It's uncompromising but very watchable. Someone here was complaining about the soundtrack. Don't listen it's superb - by Bill Ryder Jones from just down the road here in Wirral.
Camera angles, filters, lighting, sets, sound, music - everything that makes a film watchable is actually here. The acting is good, believable, not forced. The person(s) that made/directed/scripted this movie actually have talent. Unlike what we currently see churned out from certain film makers.This film tells a story - it unfolds slowly so you need to be patient and let it build. Sure it is not a blockbuster, however it is not a waste of time, which most "thrillers" or "horror" tend to be for many years.It almost gives the vibe of a superhero murderer in various parts of dialogue - not that it is bad - but it is quite different. Then, without giving anything away - you almost get a feel that one of the characters could almost be the subconscious of someone speaking to them. It makes you want to know where the director was educated, because he knows what he is doing - and will be interesting to see what he creates in the coming years.
The film was well paced and quite entertaining but the thing that stood out immediately was the sound post-production quality. It seems like there were quite a lot of hands on this area so I cannot quite fathom how the final version was allowed to be released like this.Yes, the soundtrack was outstanding, but no soundtrack should be showcased to the detriment of the film's dialogue which contains most of the essential plot. By looking at the credits, I'd point the finger at Tarn Willers - it's just not a great effort. I think it was also unnecessary to flood every moment of suspense with music and at the same time have it at a volume level which drowned out the signal of everything else.
A ridiculous film although I'm sure some will be dumbfounded enough to view, hoping they get a guardian psycho for Xmas.The repetition of lines with closeups of smiles and expressions, and stupid narrations. These where the real killer These aside this film is littered with holes that offer no explanation and contradict what has been shown. How did Piggy get into Joe's flat continuously when he would deadbolt his door 5 times. A person dies without water in 3 days yet that time had past from victims 2 and 3 before they went back and moved victim 1. Piggy must have taken care of it surely. I know he was wearing a piggy nose, this meant he was also a pig at kissing Claire on the nose. Blood splatter everywhere, while puking. This in London which you can name most of the streets in this film, must have be art though. Meant he walked about the happy narrating psycho undetected and unobserved. I was annoyed specifically at how contrary the finish. Specifically Piggy's code. Don't kill innocents otherwise you are as bad as those who have done you wrong. Piggy left him alone, to interpret this meaning as to kill the Ex who was as much a pig as I snog noses. While dropping off those body parts with a note, where they mailed. In England, a piggy a pig or a psycho, yea I'm sure.The plus side it had decent cinematography and sound. The rest was seamlessly flat.3 out of 10 both tedious and stupid
