Sometimes he seems paternal though his male victim is always the least favoured child ; at other times like a jealous lover. Repeated escape attempts by the pair are soundtracked with mocking warnings via the intercom system, though it does give them an opportunity to investigate endless rooms and broom cupboards stacked with torture instruments and sticky with blood.

Rob Grant, who directed and edited Alive , later wrote and directed the excellent Harpoon , a bleakly hilarious tale of three quite unpleasant people stuck on a drifting boat with no food, water, or way of getting back to shore. Harpoon is a film that has a lot of fun with questions of cannibalism mainly could you eat someone in a crisis , and expertly leverages the way distrust grows during a disaster — how well do you really know someone?

Most importantly Grant maintains its sense of detached amusement right to the end. The central section struggles to maintain the initial tension, and at times feels like a blood-soaked episode of Through The Keyhole. I honestly wanted to be sick watching it my loathing of porridge is well-known though. I avoid Saw -type psychological slasher films as a rule it was the Rob Grant connection that led me to request a screener for this — I have enough trouble locating my keys in my handbag not to want to watch someone dig one out from behind their own eyeball.

But if you love a slowly-opening door, the music holding us frozen as we await a horrific, bloody jump scare, this is for you. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. Please update your browser to one of the following: Chrome , Firefox , Edge.
