Blackwood (2014)
9/10
Moody Indie that strikes a nerve
16 May 2014
Very well made British thriller from a directing/writing/producing team I hadn't heard of before. Lots of attention to detail has gone into this film, from the sound design to the smart, layered writing that has a few tricks up it's sleeve. On top of that the score by Lorne Balfe, who I have followed for a while is very inventive and has a lot of character. The two leads we're well cast in their roles and much enjoyed seeing Paul Kaye in a very different role to what he has played in the past. Nice to see a film that keeps the horror psychological rather than in your face. This low budget film has production values that punch well above its weight. Looking forward to see what they come up with next.
