kind of spooky

[cl091533 · 9/10 · 11 December 2012]

this is a bizarre film, kind of spooky. they used children to do the animations.it's like nancy drew but with real evil she discovers. I was thinking about it for a few days after watching it because it does all add up but when you're watching it there is a real childish atmosphere which that makes it scarier, nothing is really shown clearly, there is no gore or anything apart from one gun-shot to the head it's all done by suggestion. i don't know where it's set apart from in ireland, it seems like a sort of imaginary place. the police chief character is a bit suspect but not sure if he is meant to be implicated. also I don't know if the guy kean is one of them either. it reminded me slightly of thewickerman

This is very good

This is one of the scariest films I have ever seen. It's about a pedophile ring, but like in a very old movie everything is done by suggestion. The shadow is scarier than the monster and all that. It starts of setting up the mystery in the first few scenes. Noreen's dad is dying from a two car collision and just before he does, he whispers to her that it was murder. If it was murder, she surmises, the chief suspect would be the person he crashed into. She sneaks next door to the room of the other driver and the story begins...

In a way, I think Noreen is fashioned after the kind of 'girl detective' genre or character. She is walking around like Nancy Drew. The finds out interesting things that she didn't know about her own town and strange stuff that is happening with locals. She recruits the help of a high school drop out type called Cian, who encourages her not to worry. But she presses on and what she discovers will haunt you. Like I say, they don't show much, but what they do hint at is far scarier than most of the crap in horror movies today. Don't miss this.
