Irish movies really are like buses.
A young Dublin woman moves to a crap estate in Meath and quite rightfully goes mad.
Remember The Trouble With Sex from a few years back? Thought not, well that movie was dated on release because it had characters smoking in pubs even though the smoking ban had come into effect. Now we have Alarm with its "gazumping" of house prices. Well we're (thankfully) in a recession and no-one outbids another buyer anymore because the property market has collapsed. There's nothing more horrifying than losing one's mind and this is best illustrated in the original and remarkable movie The Innocents. Effortlessly avoiding originality and creativity Alarm follows the template of most recent Irish efforts - the TV drama. Bad photography, uneven acting, short scenes, dull lighting, and a general lameness runs through this picture. Still, it makes some valid points about how people can innocently ruin a person through doing stupid things without thinking. It also makes a valid point of how an intelligent woman can go insane living in a dump such as Meath.
Alarm is an average psychological thriller.
