Amazing, 29 July 2008
8/10
Author: Primefilm from United Kingdom

A stunningly shot low budget feature, this was a real treat to watch. It tells a disturbing tale of a woman and her two children trapped in a dark, sinister environment where the search for "secrets" to escape the apocalyptic situation is crucial. However other characters appear and the audience become as confused as the woman and we start to question the integrity of the situation. The performances were absolutely superb despite the lack of fleshy dialogue in some places, the small ensemble of actors really packed a punch.

The plot was exciting and mysterious but I personally feel it needed polishing and fleshing out far more. The story unfolded beautifully but the dialogue was weak in some places where I suspect lack of budget halted development of areas of the story (e.g where Jackson is pursuing Niamh toward the end). The camera work was fluid-like and detailed and Mark Jenkin's top notch editing was slick and (again) 100 per cent faultless.
