Review of Spiral

Spiral (I) (2019)
7/10
Thoroughly enjoyable Horror from beginning to the truly horrific ending!
19 December 2020
I have been a horror fan since I can remember and this is top notch slow burn with a truly horrifying but subtle ending in so many ways!

Slow and well crafted build up with superb music/sound effects which always make a good horror, superlative acting from the stand out character played by Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman who steals the show and almost carries the whole film on his shoulders as well as a good cast headed by the venerable Lochlyn Munro who portrays his insidious and mysterious character with aplomb. With a denouement that will surely satisfy the most picky of horror fans with its pervading sense of dread and mystery this film did not disappoint.

Do not listen to the negative reviews on this one, it is just that most people these days seem to have a low threshold for boredom and cannot appreciate films that are slow and methodical; give it a try with the lights off late at night in the dark with the surround system turned up and tell me if I am wrong.
