"Troubled" was the first Jason Impey picture I've seen and it remains one of his more unusual and interesting works for me. Impey is doing for Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire what George Romero did for Pittsburgh back in the day – constantly shooting low-budget pictures that are recognisably set in the region. Freddy Salmon is one of the more complex and memorable characters you'll find in the Impey oeuvre. Director himself appears in the role of a seemingly unstoppable antagonist who is chasing Freddy in his nightmares. Among the film's weaknesses is the pacing, a problem plaguing 90 percent of indie films. It's very hard to make a coherent narrative film of any length all by yourself and it's a mission to make a feature. If you appreciate independent digital product, you may find "Troubled" of interest. It's a stab at character-driven drama in the vein of Cassavetes' 'Shadows' and Dogme films from a young director known mainly on the sexy trash horror market. I prefer "Troubled" to his later, more technically polished films because it is touching and as close to "personal cinema" as this exploitation prodigy has gotten so far.
