Featured review
I didn´t know about that film. I read some critics and I was tempted to watch it in Halloween. They say it was in some way like John Borrman´s Deliverance. Well, in a way it is but like a dark comedy.
The characters are surreal, when you start watching it, you think: "this is really strange, the acting is histrionic but i ike it". So you continue to watch it, expecting something new an obscure to happen. And there it appears Steven Wilson, in a tremendous histrionic character, more than the others, and you start to laugh because of the bizarre of the events. Then you think it is a dark comedy, but when you smile, you star to watch a thriller (psicological like movie) and the fear invades you. Therefore the comparison to Boorman´s Deliverance.
A very funny, entertaining, intrigging and surprising movie. Not in quality like Deliverance, but either more like a telefilm well done. Like a movie you would like to re - watch it in cinema, on a big screen.
Very well done for the teleplay, directing and the characters. You will enjoy it!
7 stars out of 10.
