Deranged (2012)
8/10
Well worth seeking out

Actually this was a good film, in spite of what you will read in some of the reviews. I didn't like the setting, as I think British horror should be set in the UK. The Spanish setting just somehow didn't give a frightening backdrop to the film. That said, there was genuine tension in the film and the kills were good. Contained the usual partial kill of the main protagonist followed by an amazing resurrection (this always gets on my wick, but it goes with the territory). There was lot of nudity throughout. Natalia Celino is hot and underrated as an actress. Her role here was not helped by some inane dialogue at what was supposed to be a tender erotic moment. I think the Brazilian lead has potential to be a very convincing horror actress in spite of the rather heavy accent. All in all a good film and one which is well worth seeking out. Currently on at Poundland (for a pound, surprise surprise),along with some other low budget efforts.
