White Settlers is a cracking British horror/thriller. At under 80 minutes it's a tense set piece of a film that takes just enough time to set up the characters before ripping apart their idyllic world and plunging them (and you) into a night of terror. White Settlers has a simple plot and no pretensions to be anything more than a thrill ride and is all the more effective for that (though the ending is certainly thought provoking but no spoilers).
Pollyanna McIntosh gives an excellent performance in another physically demanding role and is well on the way to establishing herself as a star of the horror genre. If you haven't seen The Woman or Let Us Prey you should definitely add them to your Must Watch List.
White Settlers is beautifully lit and shot throughout so it's no wonder the film won the coveted Best Cinematography award at the prestigious Screamfest Horror festival in the US. Much of the film is set at night and it is gorgeously atmospheric.
White Settlers director Simeon Halligan heads the team behind Manchester's annual Grimmfest horror film festival and the eagle eyed will spot a hat tip to the festival during White Settlers. Both White Settlers and Halligan's first feature Splintered (also well worth a watch!) were made by Manchester-based Not A Number Productions. It's great to see the British horror scene so healthy, long may it continue.
White Settlers - definitely recommended for your next night of horror films :-)
