Arrived in Cardiff about 2.30 today, and as everyone had already had their fill of the big city I decided to head on in and catch a film.. on my own... again.
This one centers around a widow, Amelia (Essie Davis), her 6 year old son Samuel (Noah Wiseman) and their struggle to come to terms with the death of the husband/father (Benjamin Winspear).
I've seen enough horror films over the years to know it's rare these days to get a new idea.. This one isn't.. But that's not a bad thing. It had the appearance of a low budget flick in a similar vein to 'Brain Dead'.. It's very creepy and a real slow burner. The film had a grey, desaturated look about it..There was no real 'jump out of your skin' moments but it was still disturbing..
Both leads are excellent, and for a six year old Noah Wiseman is definitely one to watch out for.
Overall I enjoyed it.. ****
