Dark Encounter (2019)
Gripping. Absolutely gripping!!!!
The 2nd full length feature to arrive from Strathie Film and if you've seen and enjoyed the 1st then you'll not be disappointed by this. I really enjoyed this movie but I'd call it sci-fi \ mystery rather than horror but that's not taking anything away from the superb execution of a very good script. The cinematography is 1st class and it's a fresh new look at a genre. Whilst it tips its hat to the classic sci-fi movies of the 80's its intensity & suspense will set it apart from other movies in this category. Good cast, superb cinematography and excellent acting. You'd be hard pushed to find another movie that can deliver so much quality from a small budget because these guys just getting better & better.
Solis (2018)
Slow burn baby, slow burn.
Solis.
This movie covers old ground in a new way. You can't help but feel for Holloway's desperation as his life pod hurtles thru space towards the sun. From the outset Holloway gives off an air of brashness but that literally dissolves as his plight becomes all too clear to him.
I found this movie to be a real 'slow burn' as the story progresses and grips with the voice of Alice Lowe being the glimmer of hope that underlines the despondency felt.
Yes this is low budget but the production values are very high and give that it's sci-fi, the story is so very 'human' that it negates the need for CGI on a blockbuster scale as that would distract from the narrative.
Solis. Well worth watching!
